    BREAKING NEWS: Millions of Children Infected with 'Vaccine Safety Experts' Rotateq Vaccine: Dr. Paul Offit

    Posted on: Thursday, September 25th 2014 at 5:15 pm
    Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder


    Paul Offit says you can safely administer 10,000 vaccines to infants at once. But he also profits from the patent he holds for the Rotateq vaccine. What's wrong with this picture?

    Dr. Paul Offit is a pediatrician who co-invented a rotavirus vaccine (trade name Rotateq), who once stated in interview that a child can be administered 100,000 vaccines safely at once (later revised to 10,000). A professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, he is the darling of the mainstream media and a widely cited self-appointed 'vaccine safety expert,' despite the glaring conflict of interest implied by such a designation.

    Unfortunately for Dr. Offit (not so affectionately named Dr. Profit), a 2010 study published in Journal of Virology revealed that his multi-million dollar grossing patent on the Rotateq vaccine contains a live simian retrovirus (with a 96% match of certainty) that has likely infected millions of children over the past few years with a virus that causes great harm. Retrovirus infections are permanent, and can carry on indefinitely into future generations. In other words, once they are inserted into the human genome they can not be removed. View the entire PDF here.

    Moreover, a 2014 study published in Advances in Virology found Dr. Offit's vaccine contains a "baboon endogenous virus strain M7...likely due to the monkey cell line in which RotaTeq was produced from." View the entire PDF here.

    In order to grasp the dire significance of these findings, you might want to familiarize yourself with the history of adventitious viruses in so-called attenuated or live vaccines. These contain the actual disease vector they are supposed to prevent. While considered "weakened," their process of manufacture often make them more adaptable to the host within which they are injected. Many rounds of passage through human and animal cells often makes these vaccines far more dangerous than the natural 'wild-type' infections that we encounter naturally. You only have to look to oral polio vaccine to understand the dangers of the vaccine model. In 2011, the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics published a study revealing that vaccine strain polio is twice as lethal as wild-type, and has been identified to cause over 47,000 cases of polio-associated paralysis in 2011 alone. This was the vaccine launched by the Dalai Lama himself, who apparently has no clue as to the harm caused by these interventions.

    The theory is that by infecting healthy bodies with them you generate an immune response – validated by elevated antibody titers, regardless of their affinity to the pathogen – that results (in theory) in increased protection. Regardless of the justification for using monkey cells for vaccine production, monkey retroviruses contaminate the vaccines nonetheless. By unintentionally infecting healthy infants with these viruses you are making them sick. Retroviruses use reverse transcriptase – a viral enzyme – to insert pathogenic genetic information into healthy cells, effectively converting them into virus-manufacturing factories. And no matter what your medical philosophy is, monkey viruses have no justifiable place in a healthy human body.

    For context, consider the deleterious role of a previous monkey virus – simian virus 40 (SV40) – in the polio vaccination campaigns. This 'hidden' cancer-causing virus infected millions of unsuspecting polio vaccine recipients during the initial polio eradication campaigns. Not only is it cancer-causing, but it is passed down transgenerationally. Merck's senior vaccine scientist confessed in interview as to the damage these SV-40 contaminated vaccines did to millions of unsuspecting victims, including causing cancer. These vaccines did untold damage to the following infected generations, leaving a legacy of untold pain and suffering in millions of offspring whose parents unwittingly succumbed to one of the most dangerous biological experiments in human history. Watch this video to learn the horrific truth about the unintended, adverse effects of polio vaccination.

    Retroviruses are just as serious. HIV for instance, is a retrovirus whose phylogenetic lineage also comes from a monkey virus: simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Offit's Rotateq vaccine should be pulled from the market, considering it contains live viruses that are capable of infecting the bodies of those within which they are injected. For information on the exploding epidemic caused by hidden viruses in vaccines, read Judy Mikovits' incredible new book "Plague: One Scientist's Intrepid Search for the Truth About Human Retroviruses and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autism and Other Diseases." It's a must read!

    The significance of these findings cannot be underestimated. Rotavirus infections are a natural rite of passage for the developing immune system. In developed nations, where nutrition, hygiene and sanitation are up to par, infection from childhood pathogens normally proceed without morbidity or mortality – lest the infant/child is already immunocompromised. In fact, rotavirus challenges result in lasting immunity and provide the justification ultimately for the vaccinology model, which draws from the normal (arguably millions of years old) experience of overcoming infection, constructing a model of vaccine-induced immunity upon this natural fact.

    Paul Offit, the patent holder of the Rotateq vaccine is morally obligated to call for an immediate halt of the use of his vaccine in infants and children. Unless he wishes to be responsible for the harms associated with injecting them with live monkey viruses, he must step forward now to ask for a review of the safety of these vaccines.

    Failing to do so makes him culpable in the harm of millions of children that he personally profits from infecting with retroviruses.

    Enough is enough. The facts are clearly available for anyone with an 'evidence-based' bent to ascertain. The credibility of the entire vaccination schedule is on the line. Dr. Offit is likely uneducated about the iatrogenic risks associated with this pharmaceutical product, but new research clearly shows that the unintended, adverse effects may outweight the purported benefits. It is time to take a closer look at what if any benefit vaccines have, given their clearly documented risks.

    History proves vaccines are quite safe—really?

    Sep 29, 2014 by Jon Rappoport
    NoMoreFakeNews.com

    In 1987, when I was writing my first book, AIDS INC., I decided to look into vaccines as a cause of immune-system suppression.

    I had never dug below the surface of that subject before.

    Of course, the authorities and experts have been forever telling people how effective and safe vaccines are. They issue their remarks with great assurance.

    Here are just a few of my findings, from 1987. They paint a different historical record.

    “Smallpox, like typhus, has been dying out (in England) since 1780. Vaccination in this country has largely fallen into disuse since people began to realize how its value was discredited by the great smallpox epidemic of 1871-2 (which occurred after extensive vaccination).” W. Scott Webb, A Century of Vaccination, Swan Sonnenschein, 1898.

    “… Barker and Pichichero, in a prospective study of 1232 children in Denver, Colorado, found after DTP [diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis vaccine], that only 7% of those vaccinated were free from untoward reactions, which included pyrexia (53%), acute behavioral changes (82%), prolonged screaming (13%), and listlessness, anorexia and vomiting. 71% of those receiving second injections of DTP experienced two or more of the reactions monitored.” Lancet, May 28, 1983, p. 1217

    “Publications by the World Health Organization show that diphtheria is steadily declining in most European countries, including those in which there has been no immunization. The decline began long before vaccination was developed. There is certainly no guarantee that vaccination will protect a child against the disease; in fact, over 30,000 cases of diphtheria have been recorded in the United Kingdom in fully immunized children.” Leon Chaitow, Vaccination and Immunization, CW Daniel Company, Ltd., p. 58.

    “… the swine-flu vaccination program was one of its (CDC) greatest blunders. It all began in 1976 when CDC scientists saw that a virus involved in a flu attack outbreak at Fort Dix, N.J., was similar to the swine-flu virus that killed 500,000 Americans in 1918. Health officials immediately launched a 100-million dollar program to immunize every American. But the expected epidemic never materialized, and the vaccine led to partial paralysis in 532 people. There were 32 deaths.” U.S. News and World Report, Joseph Carey, October 14, 1985, p. 70, “How Medical Sleuths Track Killer Diseases.”

    “At a press conference in Washington on 24 July, 1942, the Secretary of War reported that 28,585 cases of jaundice had been observed in the (American) Army between 1 January and 4 July after yellow fever vaccination, and of these 62 proved fatal.” Sir Graham Wilson, Hazards of Immunization, Athone Press, University of London, 1967.

    “Between 10 December 1929 and 30 April 1930, 251 of 412 infants born in Lubeck received three doses of BCG vaccine by the mouth during the first ten days of life. Of these 251, 72 died of tuberculosis, most of them in two to five months and all but one before the end of the first year. In addition, 135 suffered from clinical tuberculosis but eventually recovered; and 44 became tuberculin-positive but remained well. None of the 161 unvaccinated infants born at the time was affected in this way and none of these died of tuberculosis within the following three years.” Hazards of Immunization, Wilson.

    “So far it is hardly possible to gain insight into the extent of the immunization catastrophe of 1955 in the United States. It may be considered certain that the officially ascertained 200 cases (of polio) which were caused directly or indirectly by the (polio) vaccination constitute minimum figures… It can hardly be estimated how many of the 1359 (polio) cases among vaccinated persons must be regarded as failures of the vaccine and how many of them were infected by the vaccine. A careful study of the epidemiologic course of polio in the United States yields indications of grave significance. In numerous states of the U.S.A., typical early epidemics developed with the immunizations in the spring of 1955… The vaccination incidents of the year 1955 cannot be exclusively traced back to the failure of one manufacturing firm.” Dr. Herbert Ratner, Child and Family, 1980, vol. 19, no. 4, “Story of the Salk Vaccine (Part 2).”

    “Suffice it to say that most of the large (polio) epidemics that have occurred in this country since the introduction of the Salk vaccine have followed the wide-scale use of the vaccine and have been characterized by an uncommon early seasonal onset. To name a few, there is the Massachusetts epidemic of 1955; the Chicago epidemic of 1956; and the Des Moines epidemic of 1959.” Dr. Herbert Ratner, Child and Family, 1980 vol. 19, no. 4.

    “Administration of KMV (killed measles vaccine) apparently set in motion an aberrant immunologic response that not only failed to protect children against natural measles, but resulted in heightened susceptibility.” JAMA Aug. 22, 1980, vol. 244, p. 804, Vincent Fulginiti and Ray Helfer. The authors indicate that such falsely protected children can come down with “an often severe, atypical form of measles. Atypical measles is characterized by fever, headache… and a diverse rash (which)… may consist of a mixture of macules, papules, vesicles, and pustules… “

    “Assistant Secretary of Health Edward Brandt, Jr., MD, testifying before the U.S. Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, rounded… figures off to 9,000 cases of convulsions, 9,000 cases of collapse, and 17,000 cases of high-pitched screaming for a total of 35,000 acute neurological reactions occurring within forty-eight hours of a DPT shot among America’s children every year.” DPT: A Shot in the Dark, by Harris L. Coulter and Barbara Loe Fischer, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.

    Yes, a different history. Is there a school anywhere which would dare teach it?

    Jon Rappoport - CDC Fraud: Vaccine Autism Link & Ebola



    Quote Jon Rappoport is an investigative journalist, author and publisher of the website nomorefakenews.com. He has worked as an investigative reporter for 30 years, writing articles on politics, medicine, and health. Jon has delivered lectures and seminars on global politics, health, logic, and creative power to audiences around the world. He returns to give a complete run down on the recent CDC scandal. On August 25, 2014 the CDC published a press release defending its 2004 study on autism. Two days later CDC whistleblower publicly admits he and his co-authors cooked that study and committed fraud. The CDC was referring to the 2004 study whistleblower William Thompson co-authored, the study he admitted was fraudulent, the study he and his co-authors slanted to bury the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. Jon discusses the complexities behind this huge cover-up. Actor, Rob Schneider also said he has a copy of "the original CDC report that was later suppressed and fraudulently changed." Later, Jon talks about the striking similarity between the Thompson and Snowden stories. In this extended interview, we’ll continue discussing the vaccine as well as the length the CDC and government will go to obscure damage they’ve created. We’ll move on to talk about the Ebola epidemic. We’ll hear how the CDC is getting their numbers on cases and how it is being diagnosed. The CDC claims that there will be “1 million Ebola cases by January.” As Ebola victims fly into Western nations, Jon discusses what possible scenarios are being planned in the near future in Western nations.

    India Holds Bill Gates Accountable For His Vaccine Crimes

    Christina England
    October 5 2014



    As Bill Gates faces a lawsuit for the illegal testing of tribal children in India, it appears that his crimes against humanity have finally caught up with him.

    A recent report published by Health Impact News has reported that the Gates Foundation has found itself facing a pending lawsuit, due to an investigation that is being carried out by the Supreme Courts of India.

    Health Impact News stated:

    Quote “While fraud and corruption are revealed on almost a daily basis now in the vaccine industry, the U.S. mainstream media continues to largely ignore such stories. Outside the U.S., however, the vaccine empires are beginning to crumble, and English versions of the news in mainstream media outlets are available via the Internet.

    One such country is India, where the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and their vaccine empire are under fire, including a pending lawsuit currently being investigated by the India Supreme Court.” [1]
    The Health Impact News article centered largely on a four-page report that was recently published by Economic Times India.

    Eager to know more, I investigated their story and discovered that the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and two organizations funded by them, PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health) and GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization), have found themselves under fire, after a writ of petition originally submitted to the Supreme Court of India, by Kalpana Mehta, Nalini Bhanot and Dr. Rukmini Rao in 2012, was finally heard by the courts.

    The petitioners submitting the petition stated:

    Quote “BMGF, PATH and WHO were criminally negligent trialling the vaccines on a vulnerable, uneducated and under-informed population school administrators, students and their parents who were not provided informed consent or advised of potential adverse effects or required to be monitored post-vaccination.” [2]
    Young Tribal Girls Tested With HPV Vaccines
    The Economic Times India published their report August 2014. They stated that in 2009, tests had been carried out on 16,000 tribal school children in Andhra Pradesh, India, using the human papiloma virus (HPV) vaccine, Gardasil.

    According to the report written by KP Narayana Kumar, within a month of receiving the vaccine, many of the children fell ill and by 2010, five of them had died. A further two children were reported to have died in Vadodara, Gujarat, where an estimated 14,000 tribal children were vaccinated with another brand of the HPV vaccine, Cervarix, manufactured by GlaxoSmitheKline (GSK).

    Shockingly, the report stated that many of the consent forms used to vaccinate the girls were signed “illegally,” either by the wardens from the hostels where many of the girls resided, or using thumbprints from illiterate parents.

    This travesty was not discovered until a team of health activists from the non-government organization SAMA, an organization specializing in women’s health, decided to investigate what had been going on.

    According to the report, they were shocked to discover that a total of 120 girls had been taken ill, suffering from a variety of symptoms, including “epileptic seizures, severe stomach aches, headaches and mood swings.”

    The Economic Times stated:

    Quote “The Sama report also said there had been cases of early onset of menstruation following the vaccination, heavy bleeding and severe menstrual cramps among many students. The standing committee pulled up the relevant state governments for the shoddy investigation into these deaths.

    It said it was disturbed to find that ‘all the seven deaths were summarily dismissed as unrelated to vaccinations without in-depth investigations …’ the speculative causes were suicides, accidental drowning in well (why not suicide?), malaria, viral infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage (without autopsy) etc.”
    This information is even more shocking when you discover that the organization funding the study was none other than the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who declared the project a total success.

    Kumar wrote:

    Quote “According to the BMGF, the WHO, the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, and the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India have all recommended vaccination ‘as a proven and highly effective preventive measure for cervical cancer.’ The project used vaccines that are licensed in India and that have been administered safely around the world tens of millions of times, preventing countless cases of cervical cancer illness and death, ‘maintains a BMGF spokesperson in an emailed response (see GAVI & PHFI create incentives …’”
    He continued:

    Quote “BMGF’s role in funding the controversial studies, however, has led to many healthcare activists in India voicing their apprehensions. ‘BMGF has to take full responsibility because PATH is funded by them. It is also unethical when people championing the cause of vaccines are the same ones who are also investing in vaccine development,’ said V Rukmini Rao, one of the activists who filed a writ petition before the Supreme Court in connection with the HPV vaccine studies.” [3]
    Absolutely, and this is not the first time that these organizations have been caught illegally testing vaccines in developing countries.

    Gates Foundation, WHO, PATH, GAVI, UNICEF Behind Chad Vaccine Disaster
    In December 2012, in the small village of Gouro, Chad, Africa, situated on the edge of the Sahara Desert, five hundred children were locked into their school, threatened that if they did not agree to being force-vaccinated with a meningitis A vaccine, they would receive no further education.

    These children were vaccinated without their parents’ knowledge. This vaccine was an unlicensed product still going through the third and fourth phases of testing.

    Within hours, one hundred and six children began to suffer from headaches, vomiting, severe uncontrollable convulsions and paralysis. The children’s wait for a doctor began. They had to wait one full week for a doctor to arrive while the team of vaccinators proceeded to vaccinate others in the village.

    When the doctor finally came, he could do nothing for the children. The team of vaccinators, upon seeing what had happened, fled the village in fear.

    The original report written in a small, local newspaper called La Voix, the only newspaper to have published the original story, stated that forty children were finally transferred to a hospital in Faya and later taken by plane to two hospitals in N’Djamena, the capital city of Chad.


    After being shuttled around like cattle, many of these sick, weak children were finally dumped back in their village without a diagnosis and each family was given an unconfirmed sum of £1000 by the government. No forms were signed and no documentation was seen. They were informed that their children had not suffered a vaccine injury.

    However, if this were true, why would their government award each family £1000 in what has been described as hush money?

    The only mainstream news channel to have highlighted the plight of these poor children was a local channel called Tchad, which filmed footage of the then-Prime Minister of Chad visiting the children in hospital.

    VacTruth has copies of both reports, along with medical and government documents.

    Despite this evidence and VacTruth’s detailed and extensive coverage, including highlighting television footage, once again, the vaccine program was hailed a success. To watch videos reporting the story, see the references at the end of this article. [4] [5]

    The groups involved with this project were PATH, WHO, UNICEF, and the Gates Foundation. During investigations, it was discovered that the whole project was being run by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    In a press release, the Gates Foundation stated:

    Quote “MenAfriVac is a tremendous success story for the global health community. It is the first vaccine developed specifically for Africa, and it proves that global partnerships can develop and deliver high-quality, low-cost vaccines.

    Ten years ago, we invested in the Meningitis Vaccine Project, an innovative model that brought together PATH, the World Health Organization, African health ministers and the Serum Institute of India today, we celebrate the result: a modern vaccine selling for less than US 50 cents per dose with the potential to end Africa’s deadly meningitis epidemics.

    We believe that vaccines are one of the best buys in global health. In January, Bill and Melinda Gates called on the global community to make this the Decade of Vaccines. There is no better way to launch this decade than with a new vaccine that will improve and save lives.” [6]
    VacTruth can prove otherwise.

    Government Inquiry Holds GAVI Accountable for Multiple Deaths
    Despite the fact the Gates Foundation call vaccines “one of the best buys in global health,” a government inquiry in Pakistan has found the complete opposite.

    In 2011, the Express Tribune published a story stating that:

    Quote “ISLAMABAD: A government inquiry has found that polio vaccines for infants funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation are causing deaths and disabilities in regional countries including Pakistan.

    The startling revelation is part of an inquiry report prepared by the Prime Minister’s Inspection Commission (PMIC) on the working of the Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). The PMIC, headed by Malik Amjad Noon, has recommended that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani immediately suspend the administration of all types of vaccines funded by the GAVI.”
    According to the Express Tribune, the main vaccinations in question were the polio vaccine and the 5-in-1 pentavelent vaccine, which were said to be responsible for the deaths and disability of a number of children in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Japan.

    The vaccines were funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GAVI) an organization financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Children’s Vaccine Program, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, the Rockefeller Foundation, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank.

    Writing on the official report, made exclusive to the newspaper, the Express Tribune stated:

    Quote “The report states, ‘The procured vaccines are not tested in laboratories to confirm their efficacy and genuineness. This leaves room for use of spurious and counterfeit vaccines.’” [7] (emphasis added)
    If this is true, then once again the Gates Foundation has been linked to mass vaccination initiatives using untested, unsafe vaccinations.

    The Gates Foundation and WHO Labeled Unethical by Medical Experts
    In 2012, Ramesh Shankar Mumbai, an author writing for the Pharmabiz website, reported that two medical experts from India had accused the Gates Foundation and WHO of being unethical.

    In his report, Mumbai stated that Dr. Neetu Vashisht and Dr. Jacob Puliyel of the Department of Pediatrics at St. Stephens Hospital in Delhi, wrote the following information in their report in the April issue of Indian Journal of Medical Ethics.

    Quote “It was unethical for WHO and Bill Gates to flog this program when they knew 10 years back that it was never to succeed. Getting poor countries to expend their scarce resources on an impossible dream over the last 10 years was unethical.”
    Pharmabiz.com reported that Dr. Vashisht and Dr. Puliyel had continued their report by stating:

    Quote “Another major ethical issue raised by the campaign is the failure to thoroughly investigate the increase in the incidence of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) in areas where many doses of vaccine were used. NPAFP is clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly.”
    Pharmabiz.com continued:

    Quote “The authors noted that while India was polio-free in 2011, in the same year, there were 47500 cases of NPAFP. While data from India’s National Polio Surveillance Project showed NPAFP rate increased in proportion to the number of polio vaccine doses received, independent studies showed that children identified with NPAFP ‘were at more than twice the risk of dying than those with wild polio infection.’” [8]
    The corruption and deceit by these organizations does not stop there.

    The Gates Foundation Blamed for 10,000 Vaccine-Related Deaths
    In 2013, yet another report named the Gates Foundation and GAVI as being responsible for multiple deaths using untested vaccinations on children from the developing world.

    The report, published on the website Occupy Corporatism and written by Susanne Posel stated:

    Quote “It was found out through an investigation, that GAVI was using an untested vaccine; giving this dangerous vaccine to Pakistani children shows the lack of empathy associated with these organizations.

    GAVI was blamed for the deaths of 10,000 children in Pakistan when they came in and administered polio vaccines that resulted in casualties.” [9]
    As we know, GAVI is heavily funded by the Gates Foundation. [10]

    So, what was the name of the organization that investigated GAVI and found them using untested polio vaccinations in Pakistan?

    According to the Express Tribune article, which I referred to earlier in this article, it was none other than the Indian government, who, upon discovering the shocking truth, recommended the immediate suspension of the administration of all types of vaccines funded by GAVI. [7]

    In a recent radio show hosted by Sallie O. Elkordy, Susanne Posel gave her frank and honest views on the whole sorry mess that we find ourselves in today.

    Warning: This report is not for the faint-hearted. [11]

    Conclusion
    It is difficult to believe that, despite the mounting evidence outlining the many crimes against humanity that have been committed by the Gates Foundation, GAVI, UNICEF and PATH, Bill Gates is portrayed as a hero among many.

    However, according to the definition of hero in the Oxford Dictionary, the word hero means:

    Quote “A person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” [12]
    The dictionary I used said nothing about vaccinating innocent, vulnerable children with untested and unsafe vaccinations, causing them to suffer agonizing, untimely deaths.

    Vaccination Nation

    October 3, 2014


    Quote “Right now, what’s on the line in this country is whether or not we’re going to have the legal right in the future to make choices about federally recommended vaccines.”-Barbara Loe Fisher
    On this edition of Real Politik James speaks with Barbara Loe Fisher, president and co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, a non-profit charity established in 1982. For the past three decades, she has led a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system.

    Loe Fisher has researched, analyzed and publicly articulated the major issues involving the science, policy, law, ethics and politics of vaccination to become one of the world’s leading consumer advocacy experts on the subject. NVIC is not “anti-vaccine,” as mainstream news media might encourage the public to believe. Rather, it is pro-safe vaccines and exists to ensure the informed consent of the parents and patients who chose to vaccinate.

    One of the most important things parents can do is recognize the clinical signs of an adverse reaction their children may exhibit to one or more vaccine administrations. Understanding, for example, the symptoms of brain inflammation is essential “because brain inflammation has been associated with vaccinations since small pox vaccine” since the early 1900s. “Almost any vaccine can do that.”

    When Loe Fisher’s son was two-and-a-half, he suffered an adverse reaction to the DPT vaccine.
    Quote I knew what my child was before the reaction. My son was extremely bright. He was saying words at seven months. He was speaking in full sentences by the age of two. He knew his upper and lower-case alphabet. He knew his numbers up to 20. He could identify the words in the books we read together.
    Yet after the DPT shot, “he regressed, physically, mentally, and emotionally,” she recalls. “He no longer knew his alphabet. He could no longer identify words. He became very, very chronically ill, with constant diarrhea, respiratory and ear infections. He became emotionally fragile [with a] low frustration level, no concentration–he couldn’t concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time.”


    Despite being well-educated and coming from a family of medical practitioners, Loe Fisher lacked sufficient information to identify the symptoms of her son’s adverse reaction. Not until she viewed the 1982 documentary, DPT Vaccine Roulette and consulted the professional literature did she realize how the medical community was well aware of the dangers the vaccine posed to children.

    Quote “There in the pages of Pediatrics, The New England Journal of Medicine, and The Lancet, were clinical descriptions of exactly what I’d seen that day. So the doctors were discussing with each other in the medical literature about what DPT vaccine could do to the brains of babies, but they didn’t tell the mothers, and that’s why I felt strongly that there needed to be an organization that would educate people about things like recognizing a vaccine reaction, so it can be written down in the medical record [and] reported to the government.”

    The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which Loe Fisher was instrumental in the passage of, required that parents be informed of potential adverse reactions and that documentation be maintained and collected of such reactions, yet this is often ignored because there are no penalties for healthcare practitioners who fail to abide by the Act.

    The United States is one of the wealthiest and most technologically-advanced countries in the world. It also has the most highly-vaccinated children and adolescents, with at least 95% of children entering kindergarten today following the full vaccine regimen consisting of several dozen shots. Yet such aggressive vaccination policies don’t translate to a healthier nation. “We have the largest number of children in our history who are suffering with chronic diseases and disabilities,” Loe Fisher notes.
    Quote I’m not saying that all of this is due to vaccinations, but you certainly can’t leave off of the research table the big question, which is, Has the increase in the number of vaccines children are getting in the last thirty years been a co-factor in the rise of the number of children suffering with things like learning disabilities, asthma, autism, and diabetes.
    The major news media have made raising vaccine awareness a constant struggle because they typically frame the vaccine awareness issue in simplistic terms. “It’s been very difficult to do this work,” Barbara notes,
    Quote because there’s been so much opposition from those in positions of power–in government, in industry, and in the medical trades. With the media, it’s gotten very, very ugly since about 2007-08. At one point in 2009 the Secretary of Health and Human Services gave an interview with a journalist, and that journalist reported that [HHS] has instructed the media to not cover people who criticize vaccine safety, which would include me.


    Indeed, the Department of Health and Human Services wields tremendous power in its oversight of vaccine recommendation and safety, while also maintaining close ties with the pharmaceutical industry. The NVIC has since 2011 been calling for vaccine safety oversight to be vacated from HHS,
    Quote because in the Department of Health and Human Services these public health officials are in charge of not only vaccine safety oversight, but they also license vaccines, they take money from drug companies to fast-track vaccines, they partner with drug companies to develop and share profits from vaccine sales, they make national vaccine policies that get turned into state vaccine laws, and they also decide which children will and will not get a vaccine injury compensation award. Our point is that it’s too much power for one federal agency.
    Barbara Loe Fisher is co-author of the seminal book DPT: A Shot in the Dark (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich 1985); author of The Consumer’s Guide to Childhood Vaccines (1997); Vaccines, Autism & Chronic Inflammation: The New Epidemic (2008) and Reforming Vaccine Policy & Law: A Guide (2014). She is also a video commentator for the NVIC Newsletter and Mercola Newsletter, and a blogger at www.VaccineAwakening.blogspot.com. Loe Fisher’s long public record of vaccine safety and informed consent advocacy was featured in the 2011 award winning film documentary, The Greater Good.

    THANK YOU for the link -- as for my inbox, I will try to consolidate again
    We need an archive for emails! lol.

    my PA account goes to an email that gets checked maybe 10 times per year.



    i feel terrible for the woman who wrote that! do you mind if I quote her?

    Quote I have hesitated in making this thread, but I feel by me sharing my story it may benefit someone else. I am open to legal advice and parental advice...I would also like to know if others have had a similar situation. Please bare with me as I give you some background information......

    My son who i will call x is 17 yrs.old and has autism. He medical diagnosis is Aspergers syndrome, Severe ADHD, OCD, Depressive mood, Schizoaffective Disorder and Sensory Integration Disorder.

    He is not mentally slow and is of superior intelligence. Aspergers means he is developmentally delayed basically emotionally. My son has slow processing skills, low adaptability; i.e. when placed in a new environment suddenly, he has a very hard time adapting. He is extremely emotional at times and has a difficult time expressing whatever emotion he is feeling except anger.

    He began showing symptoms at 18months...but it was not until he was 5 years old that we sought treatment. x, has been with the same psychiatrist since kindergarten, and this doctor saved his life and our family. I am not going to discuss Big pharma or psychiatric medicine being bogus. we all have our opinions but lets keep that part to ourselves...His doctor is reknown throughout the world for his cutting edge knowledge and treatment plan of these kids...Just to show you he is not some whacko here are his credentials.

    As many of you know, raising a child on the Autistic Spectrum, is quite challenging. No two kids are alike and their behavior is extremely unpredictable..It takes hard work, educating yourself, involving others, support, lots of love and never giving up!! Trust me I know!! And I stand there with every one of you in your dedication.....I know the fear, denial, exhaustion, and hoplessness you feel. I also know the joy, happiness, appreciation, hope, passion and love you have witnessed....One could easily say " well that is the same for every parent who has a child and I agree with you but having a child with a mental, physical or developmental disorder is like trying to raise 7 kids at one time....

    I begin with a warning about our public Education System and our local court......This thread is about taking on a County, School Board, and Super Intendent of the Schools and winning. My child was placed in a private special needs day school which the county must pay for, because for 7 years they failed to provide a free appropriate education according to the Individual Disabilities Education Act and that is a Federal Law. With that said my son has seen life changing success after being placed in this school. It has been the best thing that has happened to him and to our family....Yet, in one evening this changed and could change so drastrically next week as to ruin my sons life!

    I received an email from the county Attendance social worker that she filed a petition with the Juvenile Justice System saying my child
    was a child in need of Services due to severe attendance problems last year which constitutes truancy under state law. She wanted to
    help our family and him improve his attendance. She also stated she was anxious to meet me and asked if I could call her to set up a meeting....Well knowing how these things works, I knew I needed my education advocate trained in working with special needs kids and the education system...so I phoned her, set up a meeting and we proceeded to go meet this woman Oct.6th a couple of weeks ago. To my shock and amazement she refused to meet with because I was with my advocate!! She explained she did not feel comfortable and handed me an envelope explaining that she wanted to bring in additional services to help my child who she claimed was "at risk"...she briefly spoke of in home counseling, social workers, out patient therapy all from the county mental health system these things according to her was what the petition that she filed with the court was specifically about.

    After questioning her refusal to meet as she had requested, she just kept saying that without another person with her she did not feel comfortable!! This is absolutely unheard of, but okay, so we rescheduled a meeting for Nov. 5th....

    Upon reading the paper the work I saw that she had a recorded number of unexcused absences that read 87!! That is for one year!!
    Red flag!!! SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE OFFICIAL ATTENDANCE RECORD!

    ******Oct.10th, a police officer comes to my home and serves me, my husband and my child with a summons to appear in court for a hearing Oct. 30th charges: CHILD IN NEED OF SUPERVISION AT WHICH TIME THE COURT WILL SEEK THE DESOLUTION OF ALL PARENTAL RIGHTS!!!

    *******OCT.15******** i RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE JUDGE THAT A GUARDIAN Ad LITEM HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO MY SON******THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD ARE BEING ACCUSED OF PHYSICAL ABUSE OR NEGLECT!!!

    I cannot begin to express the hell this woman has put my child and my family through. It is really shocking that her view of helping my child is to remove him from my home and place in juvenile detention and terminate my rights as his mother!!

    I have retained an incredible attorney who was the former Attorney State General..who has also worked on the Supreme court of the U.S. and has had several cases which resulted in precedent being set for the state....He specializes in discrimination against Children with disabilitites in the Education system.......

    I have much more to share......but will refrain from doing so unless ya'll want to talk about this..... Please be aware this could happen to any parent with a child whom has a disability .........

    Thanks so much for reading and letting me shares....I look forward to your comments, opinions, suggestions etc...

    Pax
    edit on 10/22/2014 by paxnatus because: (no reason given)

    Wow!!! it's hard not to feel sorry for her!
    But she got a good lawyer and I hope that school fires all staff involved.

    My own son is having a very hard time in school this year and he is not even 7.
    They ripped down the old school building over the summer, offered no summer school for special ED, and now he gets to go to a building that looks more lik a prison than school!

    and be "ok" with that... ffs!!!!

    Default Re: Do vaccines contribute to autism? Should we vaccinate?

    After a lot of reading, I'm right on the fence on this issue. I'm pretty confident that vaccination can induce negative autoimmune and god knows what reactions in SOME kids. There's not enough concern in reducing the SOME to NONE. That's my biggest gripe.

    I've vaccinated my first child and I'll vaccinate my next. I personally feel it's irresponsible and selfish based on the mountain of evidence that is freely available.

    I really feel for your circumstance Tesla and any others adversely effected by vaccinations. Mines not a popular opinion in here, but it is what it is.

    Thanks for everyone's efforts here and elsewhere on this issue.

    Vaccine failure is well established: Malignant mumps in MMR vaccinated children

    Sayer Ji Greenmedinfo.com
    Mon, 24 Nov 2014 19:05 CET



    A new study finds highly malignant mumps infections in those successfully vaccinated against the virus...

    A provocative new study titled, "Epidemic of complicated mumps in previously vaccinated young adults in the South-West of France," reveals that the MMR vaccine, despite generating high rates of presumably protective IgG antibodies against mumps, does not always translate into real-world immunity against infection as we have repeatedly been told. To the contrary, the study details cases where, despite the detection of high levels of antibodies against the mumps virus, patients contracted a malignant form of mumps that only rarely follows from natural, community acquired infection.

    Vaccine Failure Is Well Established In the Scientific Literature
    While counter-intuitive to those who uncritically accept the official marketing copy of the vaccine industry and their cheerleaders within government and the mainstream media, the research community and general public is beginning to appreciate how prevalent and well-documented vaccine failure really is, especially in the case of measles, hepatitis B, chickenpox,pertussis (whooping cough), HIV, polio, HPV, and influenza vaccines that do not work as advertised.

    We live in a time when many medical interventions are decided not by the weight of the evidence itself, but by 'science by proclamation,' i.e. the public, and the regulatory agencies legally responsible for protecting them, simply accept pleas to authority or vague references to 'the Science,' without any acknowledgement of the reality of how vaccine research is manipulated or simply selectively published to serve economic and socio-political agendas. For example, of the billions of dollars (much of which is funded by you, the taxpayer) funneled into proving vaccines safe and effective thus far, not a single published study exists to date that compares vaccinated subjects to non-vaccinated ones. The obvious reason is that if the results of such a study demonstrated better health or immunity in the non-vaccinated group (as many suspect), the entire house of cards supporting our present-day, globally coordinated pro-vaccine agenda would fall to pieces.

    Lacking such a study, we can deduce through naturalistic data - e.g. the fact that the Amish, who do not vaccinate, have exceptionally low rates of autism - evolutionary models of natural immunity, or global epidemiological analyses - e.g. the U.S. has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the developed world at the same time that it gives its infants the most vaccines - that our vaccine-centric 'preventive' medical model has resulted in untold harm to our infants and children.

    If you read the primary literature on vaccines you will find that some of the fundamental tenets of classical immunology and vaccinology are being called into question, such as the belief that surrogate determinants of vaccine-induced protection against infection equate to real world immunity. For instance, a groundbreaking new study calls into question the FDA/CDC's primary justification for approving vaccines based on their ability to raise antibody titers, finding that no antibodies are required for immunity against some viruses. This devastating blow, receiving little to no mainstream media coverage, revealed that surrogate markers of vaccine effectiveness - like vaccine-induced elevation of antibody titers - may be useless, despite the key fact that they are often used to accelerate the vaccine approval process in lieu of well designed human clinical trials required to determine safety and actual effectiveness.

    Case Study: Fully 'Immunized' Patients Can Contract Malignant Mumps
    The featured study in this article was conducted by a team of French researchers, who discovered cases of complicated mumps in previously vaccinated young adults. Complicated mumps refers to serious bodily damage caused by mumps infections. Naturally occurring mumps, on the other hand, is not known to cause permanent damage to those who are infected through community exposure; to the contrary, it confers much longer protection. The researchers affirm the normally benign trajectory of mumps infections, stating:
    Quote "Mumps is a usually benign pediatric viral disease caused by a rubulavirus, RNA virus of the paramyxoviridae family."
    The report was based on a retrospective analysis of 7 cases of complicated mumps managed during 1 year at the Bordeaux University Hospital, France. The diagnosis was suggested by the clinical presentation and confirmed using specific "Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction," [RT-PCR].

    The results of their investigation was reported as follows:
    Quote "Five cases of meningitis [brain and spinal chord inflammation], 1 of orchitis [inflammation of the testicles], and 1 of unilateral hearing impairment were identified. Each of the 7 patients had been previously vaccinated with MMR [the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine], 4 had received 2 doses of this vaccine. Blood tests revealed high rates of IgG antibodies, usually considered as sufficient for immunological protection, and every patient had at least 1 positive RT-PCR test for mumps."
    The emboldened statement above is instructive. Whereas the vaccine industry and the FDA determines so-called 'vaccine efficacy' by proxy to determine effectiveness, i.e. either through increased antibody titer generation or through the 'gold standard' of the Plaque reduction neutralization test, this does not always translate into actually protecting the vaccinated individual from infection. In other words, this study reveals that real world immunity against the target pathogen is not guaranteed by these surrogate markers.

    To this point, the researchers acknowledge in their concluding remarks:
    Quote "Outbreaks of complicated mumps may still occur despite a broad coverage of MMR vaccination."
    If this is true, the question should be: is it worth administering a one-size-fits-all MMR vaccine to every child, regardless of their bio-individuality and gene- and epigenetically-mediated susceptibilities to being harmed by them? This question becomes all the more salient when we consider that the MMR vaccine has been linked to the pathogenesis of autism, with a top CDC vaccine researcher William Thompson publicly confessing in an August 27th release by his legal team that the CDC covered up data showing that the MMR contributes to autism in African-American male children.

    Clearly the MMR vaccine's utility depends only on whether its benefits in protecting against measles, mumps and rubella outweigh its harms. The possibility that it has contributed to the explosion of autism spectrum disorders in the past few decades is reason enough to give pause and re-evaluate its place in the vaccine schedule, especially considering it has been linked in the biomedical literature to 30 other serious adverse health effects.

    It would be one thing if it actually worked as unilaterally presented to the public, but a recent Chinese study that found measles outbreaks were occurring in populations with 99% MMR vaccine immunization compliance. Research like this shows that the risk side of the equation may far outstrip its purported benefit to the hundreds of millions of children worldwide who are either coerced (in countries that still have mainly unexercised exemptions) or mandated into taking them.

    Ultimately, it is a parent's right and responsibility to decide whether their children should participate in the CDC's immunization schedule, which involves 49 doses of 16 vaccines by age six, each vaccine of which contains multiple 'inactive' antigenic and/or immunotoxic agents, e.g. preservatives, biological agents, adjuvants. We encourage readers to use our free vaccine research portalor visit the National Vaccine Information Center for updated information on both vaccine risks and your rights as a parent to refuse enrolling your child in the one-size-fits-all immunization schedule.

    Whooping cough outbreak at Massachusetts high school affected only vaccinated students
    Tuesday, December 09, 2014 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer



    (NaturalNews) Unvaccinated children are supposedly the cause, according to state health officials, of a recent whooping cough outbreak that occurred in the posh Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. But as reported by CBS Boston, all of the children affected by the outbreak were already vaccinated, proving once again that vaccines don't really work.

    Some 15 children at Falmouth High School reportedly came down with the respiratory illness, which also goes by the name pertussis, sparking a wave of panic about a corresponding increase in vaccine exemptions. But as usual, nobody affected by the outbreak was unvaccinated, and no matter how hard the media tries to spin the issue, those who were vaccinated were not protected.

    Mainstream media clouds issue of vaccinations and exemptions
    Reporting for CBS Boston, I-Team correspondent Lauren Leamanczyk towed the pro-vaccine line with accusations that vaccine exemptions triggered the outbreak. Undisclosed data she apparently found reveals that vaccine exemptions have increased fourfold over the past 25 years, which public health officials say increases the risk of an outbreak.

    This supposed correlation proves nothing, of course, as correlation does not imply causation. But when vaccines are involved, any deviation from the standard vaccine protocol, which is basically to take whatever the government says is good for you, becomes the automatic scapegoat when an outbreak occurs.

    In her story, Leamanczyk quotes the words of Dr. Sharon Daly, Chief of Pediatrics at Cape Cod Hospital, who declares that outbreaks increase when vaccination rates decrease. The implication, naturally, is that the Falmouth outbreak was triggered by unvaccinated children.

    But a few paragraphs later, Leamanczyk fesses up to the fact that all of the affected children who developed whooping cough had previously been vaccinated for it. Based on this fact alone, it is clear that whooping cough vaccines don't work, as every child who had been vaccinated should have been protected.

    Even if some of the unvaccinated children at the school acted as "carriers" for the disease, a claim often made by pro-vaccine zealots, this only further reinforces that whooping cough vaccines are a failure. If unvaccinated children don't contract whooping cough while vaccinated children do, then there is no rational basis for continuing the vaccine program.

    Massachusetts doesn't allow for philosophical exemptions, as claimed by Leamanczyk
    Another failure in Leamanczyk's article involves the type of exemptions supposedly responsible for the outbreak. She suggests that the rise in philosophical exemptions is the culprit, but Massachusetts doesn't even allow for philosophical exemptions: only religious and medical exemptions are permitted in the Bay State!

    This might seem like a minor discrepancy, but it is the basis of Leamanczyk and the health department's argument that exemptions are the cause of the outbreak. Perhaps she meant to say medical or religious exemptions, but this major factual error calls into question the entire premise of the article, which nonsensically blames unvaccinated children for spreading disease to vaccinated children.

    Vaccines either work or they don't. Period. Blaming unvaccinated individuals for spreading disease to vaccinated individuals makes no sense, and only further exposes the vaccine agenda for what it is: a complete myth.

    Whooping cough vaccines making disease more virulent
    If anything, vaccinated individuals are actually the ones responsible for spreading disease. In the case of whooping cough, a study out of the Netherlands found that whooping cough has mutated genetically and become more virulent as a result of whooping cough vaccines, which would explain why outbreaks are escalating.

    Another study published in the journal Infection Control Today admits that the vaccine strategy "[has] not completely eradicated strains of the bacteria," but rather led to "an increase in diversity," meaning deadlier strains that are more virulent and perhaps more contagious.

    But what just happened came out of nowhere, so to speak, and represents a take-over of the autism dialogue, and, as I see it coming, the beginnings of a winning strategy team that works together. What was just accomplished was astounding. A reorganization, and a victory, of monumental proportions. Let me tell you about it. For sure read the paragraph below about WHY they did what they did more than once.

    The "skeptics," and their paymasters, are NOT going to like this...

    A Little History...

    I didn't make a whole lot of new friends in the existing Autism Leadership structure with my article series on "why the Autism issue has NOT been solved" where I put the blame for the non-solution squarely on the shoulders of that then existing Autism Leadership structure. You can review those earlier articles in the column on the right.

    In those articles, I made it very clear that in the Health Freedom world, unlike Autism Leadership, we actually DID things; set goals and objectives, devised action plans, activated those plans, and accomplished stuff - something Autism Leadership had little, or no, concept of.

    With Autism Leadership it was ALWAYS, about having their picture taken APPEARING to get something done. The so-called Canary Party Facebook page was a hoot, a compendium of EVERYONE else's accomplishments made to appear that they, the bird-brained Canary Party (snort) was some big deal involved in problem solution. But let me be clear -The Emperor had no clothes. And, because of that, they got nowhere. And I think that was then, and is now, just fine with them. They, I think, DO NOT want to get anywhere.

    Then, to add belly laughing to the hooting, I guess, the Canary Party formed itself into "Health Choice" advertising itself as "The Leader in Health Freedom," donating some bucks to the "Health Freedom Congress," and demanding in the background, that I, Tim Bolen, be "banned" from Health Freedom. Uhmmm... Stop laughing there is more to read.

    You can see how far THAT went. These people's disconnect from reality was, at that point, complete. The Canary Party/Health Choice checkbook might as well of stayed in the purse. Except, of course, they paid dearly for the lesson they got. Dearly.

    To refresh your memory, and get a laugh, read "Health Freedom Congress Flies... Doldrums Disappear at 2014 Event..."

    Then Two More Things Happened...
    (1) A few of my REAL friends suggested to me that I ought to let "Health Choice" run with an actual project, with me not kicking them in the ass repeatedly, nor smacking them with a literary baseball-bat every week. So, I smiled and said "Sure, why not?..." So, Health Choice went off to convince the US Congress to listen to them about Autism and vaccines, and the subject of the CDC Whistleblower. Their efforts fell flat. They got NO response from Congress. Even Darrell Issa's office (remember they gave him $40,000?) stopped returning their phone calls. I didn't laugh over that. There's that old adage "don't send a boy to do a man's job..." Another lesson dearly learned.

    (2) And then, it got even funnier. My readers will remember how. last year, I wrote an article about major changes happening at Autism One, the biggest, most influential Autism Event in the US - it was called "Big Shakeup... The Autism Community is Re-Forming?... " and it talked about how the organizers of Autism One had tossed out the "posers, pretenders, partiers," and the useless. Here is an excerpt from that:

    "There is a disturbance in the fabric...

    For sure, things changed at AutismOne this year. There was no "Ken and Barbie Show" (Mark Blaxill and Jennifer Larson) for certain. In fact, I'm told, none of those people were even invited.

    Generation Rescue wasn't there in the form of Jenny McCarthy either, smoking an E-cigarette, or not. No one seemed to care. McCarthy, I'm told, has come out, recently, in favor of vaccines.

    Generation Rescue, I suspect, is dead in the water. For as long as I can remember it has been not an Autism issue proponent, but just a promoter of Jenny McCarthy. Bye, bye Jenny...

    Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) seems to be totally dead also. They do have coffee gatherings here and there, but each of them has the ring of promotion of expensive therapies and therapists. Yeah, every family with an autistic child needs a $25,054.54 Hyperbaric Chamber for their living room, right? With that you can outfit it with Hyperbaric Blankets ($250.37), Contoured mattress ($300), a chamber frame for the hyperbaric chamber ($300), and, of course, a set of hyperbaric sheets and pillowcases ($414.75).

    Oh yeah, the hyperbaric people weren't invited back to AutismOne either, I guess. Thank you Autism One for doing that. You saved me the effort."

    So, of course, "the posers, pretenders, and partiers," pulled out their checkbooks, and held their own Event last October in Dallas, Texas billing themselves as "The Autism Education Summit." My sources tell me that less than 300 people attended, including the organizers, speakers, exhibitors, hotel employees, parking lot persons, and, of course, Jenny McCarthy's limo driver and her "entourage." I guess seeing Jenny McCarthy in a "see-through" dress wasn't as big a draw as Generation Rescue thought it would be. And their "auction" of framed Football Jerseys for $6,000 each didn't have the appeal they thought it would, either, in the suffering autism community...

    Of course, with this group, at center stage, were those $18,000 to $25,000 (non-oxygen) Hyperbaric Chambers that struggling Autism families could buy for their Living Rooms, made out of $12.37 worth of mainland Chinese crap-cloth. Whoop-de-doo. Just what I expected would happen.

    After a Year of All That One Would Almost Give Up - But There Was a Surprise...

    Oh my...

    Unbelievable.

    Phoenix from the ashes.

    The Autism Community has done something incredible NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE. And, it is VERY important. I am about to tell you about it, and it will take some explaining.

    For us OLD PEOPLE (curmudgeons) who snicker at others all engaged, in public places, with their cell phone screens, like in the photo to the left, it is time for us to understand something new.. There has developed in the world, a whole new communications system - one that fits into the palm of your hand - it is called "texting," and, for the most part, is done on a mobile device, like a cell phone.

    The new communications system is extensive. So extensive, in fact, that we have had to pass laws outlawing its use while you are driving a vehicle of any kind. You (maybe) will have heard of it, depending on how curmudgeonal you actually are. Involved in it are things called FaceBook and Twitter. Am I going to fast?

    More, if you are under twenty-five, an even NEWER communications system is in your hands - with things called Instagram, SnapChat, and Vine. Ask your great-grandchildren.

    It is Twitter we are going to talk about today - that area of cyberspace that, crazy as it sounds, allocates you a FULL 140 characters for your message (sarcasm intended), not even hardly enough to write a decent Haiku in. It is EXTREMELY popular - and, in fact, it could be, certainly with the way the Autism Community is using it, the new Haiku.

    It took a while, and several different, and, I admit, YOUNGER people to explain the whole Twitter thing to me. Twitter is not about being a "twit." It is about communicating, in short messages, links to much longer, more important, communications. And, certain members of the Autism Community have mastered the game.

    I mean MASTERED the game....

    Twitter - The New Haiku?...

    Let me explain Twitter in writer's terms - Haiku originated as Japanese poetry - it was to be written, read, and understood as an independent poem, complete in itself, rather than part of a longer chain. The primary traditional element of Haiku is the division of 17 syllables into three groups of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. For instance, from Dave McCroskey comes:

    the morning paper
    harbinger of good and ill
    - - I step over it

    Take a look, once more, at the Haiku above. See the power in it? A piece of art. A powerful statement in five, seven, and five syllables, representative of the ultimate, at the time (1892), of concise communication. Is that what Twitter is in 2014? Yes, I think it is.

    Before I Explain How Twitter Works, Let Me Tell You the Incredible Thing the Autism Community Has Accomplished...

    Tim Welch, the father of an autistic son, Tweets a lot. He is, in fact, a Social Media expert. He tweets under the name @Tannersdad Tim. He talks about autism. Tim, and a few (four) smart friends, right now, are steering the propelling what's called a hashtag (#) named #CDCwhistleblower through the Twitter roof, hitting, this morning, a record 500 million impressions, on the way to a billion impressions, which they will get, they think, before the first of the year 2015. Why is this important? Because an impression (a location) means that the sum total of all of the Tweets put onto the #CDCwhistleblower space have been repeated, and sit on Twitter, in 500 million (so far) separate locations waiting to be read. Their Tweets are breeding faster than rabbits. They are becoming popular just because they are popular.

    Why is this important? Think of their cleverly designed Tweets like little billboards scattered around the US countryside. Who reads them? Well, if YOU were on Twitter maybe one, or ten, or a hundred might appear in your Twitter world just like if you were driving down the roads of your life.

    500 million - 500,000,000 of these for the English speaking world to contemplate. It won't take you long to see how afraid the vaccine industry is in their corporate boardrooms today. And, it is about to get worse. Much worse. Besides the leadership, about 33,000 people are involved in this project.

    Just below are twelve out of the 500,000,000 Twitter billboards (so far) they put out for people to read. These are called "memes."

    Default Re: Do vaccines contribute to autism? Should we vaccinate?

    continued....


    Quote Why are they doing this? Smile here - for they are on this road because they got blown off (of course) by mainstream media, trying to get the CDC Whistleblower story in that mainstream media news, and they decided to do something about it. And they are doing something about it.

    But, What I really Like About All This...

    Is the anger, the determination, and the change in the autism message. Not that long ago self-styled Autism Leadership spent a big bag of money to remove Brian Hooker PhD from testifying in front of Congress, believing that THEY, being superior human beings and all, and real-live book authors, should be the ones to testify. They substituted pablum delivering Mark Blaxill, who refused to use the "V" word (Vaccines) in front of the Congressional Committee. So, the entire hearing process, and all of the preparation for it, was a waste of Autism's time. This new, taking charge, HUGE group, has pushed aside the "superior human beings" and is ignoring old rules. They are attacking the vaccine industry DIRECTLY, and it really is time for that.

    It REALLY IS time for that. Why? Because, I think, THAT method will get everyone's attention the quickest. It REALLY IS time to shut down the vaccine industry, and their public employee sales force, before they damage and kill more of us.

    What is the NEW MESSAGE? It is just below...



    There's more...

    There was a professional attempt to stop them. It failed. The attempt was made, it appears, by members of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the University of Washington "Digital Activism Research Project." There are some short YouTube videos that explain what happened, and how the autism group beat them off. The first video is twenty-five minutes long and has two members of the tactical team explaining, with displays, of how the attempt to destroy their message was set up, managed, and operated using a device called a "Twitter Bot."

    A "Twitter Bot" is a computer program set up to disrupt activist internet campaigns. As Tim Welch says, in the video, the process of using a computer program to send out junk Tweets, that flood a Twitter stream, in essence, "making the stream irrelevant." Up to the point where the "Twitter Bots" entered the picture, all of the Tweets were from real people expressing their concerns. The first video was used to educate their whole #CDCwhistleblower Twitter Team, and show them, specifically, how to deal with the intruders - and THAT worked very well. Although the video is twenty-five (25) minutes long, the first five minutes are VERY interesting.

    After a VERY short time, the "Twitter Bot" people ran for the hills.

    A Comparison

    Recently, a hashtag (#) created for Autism Squeaks (Autism Speaks), along with Google, called #mssng carried the old, tired, bull**** message that autism is a genetic problem, blah, blah, blah. It was HIGHLY promoted by mainstream media. How well did it do? After all that - only sixty-seven million impressions.

    Autism Squeaks, we know has a significant secret donor budget.

    So, What Is Twitter, Exactly?
    Twitter works like this: You log onto Twitter. if you don't have a Twitter Account you can open one by going to the Twitter website and follow the directions. Uncheck (or not) all of those people they want you to follow, and skip, or not, all of the pages.

    In the upper right corner of the page you arrived at is a Search box. There, type in the phrase #CDCwhistleblower, or, if you want to observe the process just click on the blue words #CDCwhistleblower, and you'll go right to it. There are so many people working on it, it will change right in front of you.

    If you want to participate you have to have a Twitter Account.

    Think of This...

    Five Hundred Million billboards across the US telling Big Pharma to take their vaccine program and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine...

    I'm going to have a Merry Christmas...



    Stay tuned.

    You Won’t Believe Which Big-Name Groups are Opposed to Flu Vaccine Mandates

    Missy Fluegge
    VacTruth.com
    Sat, 17 Jan 2015 21:35 CET



    Labor unions representing professionals and skilled workers from many fields have publicly opposed mandatory vaccination in written statements to a government organization. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, skilled laborers, teachers, flight attendants, manufacturing employees, energy workers, and members of many more professions have spoken out against mandatory vaccines to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC).

    This news is not new, but you probably didn't know that so many labor unions and trade groups are collectively against mandatory vaccination. These groups, representing millions of workers, include names that may surprise you.

    Over two years ago, the NVAC recommended that facilities providing health care services should consider implementing mandatory flu vaccine policies as a condition of employment. Numerous labor unions and professional organizations protested against this proposal, but mainstream media failed to publicize their comments. [1]

    These organizations are opposed to flu vaccine mandates
    Many organizations are opposed to mandatory flu vaccination and the lack of options for exemptions, including these well-known groups:
    • American Medical Association (AMA): 228,000 members [2]
    • Service Employees International Union, representing health care workers (SEIU): 1,100,000 members [3]
    • Association of American Physicians and Surgeons: 4,000 members [4]
    • American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME): 1,300,000 members [5]
    • American Federation of Teachers (AFT): 1,600,000 members [6]
    • Association of Flight Attendants-Communications Workers of America (AFA): 60,000 members [7]
    • The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions: 95,000 members
    • United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union: 30,000 members

    What did these groups really say about mandatory vaccination?
    Did these groups really speak out against mandatory vaccination? Yes. In a moment, we'll take a look at the most shocking name on the list, a group comprising doctors, many of the same doctors who are recommending vaccination for their patients.

    You may be surprised to learn that OSHA, a governmental organization whose aim is to promote workplace health and safety, strongly opposed mandatory vaccination. They stated:
    Quote Influenza vaccination exemptions should be allowed for HCP with valid medical contraindications to vaccinations, or religious and/or personal objections. (emphasis added)
    The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions, representing health care workers in 28 regional branches, also submitted a written statement against mandatory vaccination:
    Quote Employee relations and public health are not well served by the use of coercion to achieve flu vaccination ends. And it is not consisted with our national values openness, respect, and informed consent around medical treatments we receive. (sic)
    The list of objections does not stop there.

    The AFL-CIO labor union, with its large, international membership base, stated firmly in their written comments:
    Quote Healthcare workers must be permitted to refuse the annual seasonal influenza vaccination without fear of reprisal for medical, religious, or personal reasons. (emphasis added)
    A large organization representing government employees, the AFSCME, wrote that they:
    Quote ... cannot endorse Recommendation #4 urging that employers require influenza vaccination without allowance for medical, religious and philosophical exemptions.
    Members of the AFT, a professional organization for teachers, agreed that requiring teachers to accept mandatory vaccination was a change in their employment terms and could not result in termination or disciplinary action. They wrote:
    Quote The mandate should be the adoption of a comprehensive standard similar to OSHA blood-borne pathogen standard with requirements for training, voluntary immunization and declination after education. (emphasis added)
    The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a 70-year-old organization, comprises over 4,000 members across all specialties of medicine. Their group's interests include protecting private medical practices and the patient-provider relationship. They stated vehemently:
    Quote The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons ... objects strenuously to any coercion of healthcare personnel to receive influenza immunization. It is a fundamental human right not to be subjected to medical interventions without fully informed consent. (emphasis added)
    In addition to the two health care groups mentioned in this section, you might not believe which other respected health care professional organizations are opposed to mandatory vaccination.

    The surprising big-name vaccine refusers
    Are you surprised to see the American Medical Association at the top of the list of mandated flu vaccine refusers? The AMA has failed to support vaccine mandates that do not allow for exemptions, as evidenced by a report the group adopted in November 2010 for member physicians, granting them vaccine exemptions:
    Quote In the context of a highly transmissible disease that poses significant medical risk for vulnerable patients or colleagues, or threatens the availability of the health care workforce, particularly a disease that has potential to become epidemic or pandemic, and for which there is an available, safe, and effective vaccine, physicians have an obligation to:

    (a) accept immunization absent a recognized medical, religious, or philosophic reason to not be immunized.

    (b) Accept a decision of the medical staff leadership or health care institution, or other appropriate authority to adjust practice activities if not immunized (e.g., wear masks or refrain from direct patient care). It may be appropriate in some circumstances to inform patients about immunization status. [1] (emphasis added)
    This group has seen declining membership for decades since the 1950s, when 75 percent of US physicians belonged to this esteemed organization, although they have seen small but steady membership increases for the past three years, coincidentally, at the same time they adopted the vaccine exemption status outlined above.

    Today, only about 15 percent of doctors practicing medicine in the US belong to the AMA. Some of this decline, according to an article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, is due to the AMA's support of government-mandated health care policies, even though the AMA has spoken against forced vaccination policies that do not permit exemptions for its own members. [8]

    In addition, another group of patient care providers, 170,000 members strong, unequivocally objected to mandatory vaccination. Can you guess who its members are? Nurses. These are the same people who often administer vaccines to your child.
    National Nurses United boldly summarized the many important reasons why mandatory vaccination is so dangerous, to individuals and entire industries:
    Quote ... we cannot support mandatory vaccination policies, because, rather than being educated on the importance of vaccination, employees are instead coerced into accepting the vaccine, or risk being punished, retaliated against, and, in some cases, fired by their employer. Mandatory flu vaccination programs engender distrust and resistance among employees; offer a disincentive to providing vaccination education to employees, and raise ethical and legal questions about the personal employment rights of employees. This is not the way to protect public health.

    Flu vaccines don't work

    The irony doesn't end with groups of doctors and nurses opposing mandatory vaccination. Flu vaccines have been proven to be ineffective.

    Flu vaccines target three flu viruses that are predicted to be the most common types for the upcoming flu season. However, there are over 300 kinds of flu viruses, and it takes your body from two weeks to three months to produce a full viral response to the vaccine. Three months after vaccination, the vaccine is essentially useless to your body's immune system, although the damaging, long-term side effects may last a lifetime, which we will talk about in a moment.

    In addition, if your immune system is compromised, due to factors such as age, high sugar consumption, inadequate levels of vitamin D, or other reasons, your immune system will be unable to properly handle the vaccine. [9]

    On its own website, the CDC admits that "determining how well a flu vaccine works is challenging" and that "during years when the flu vaccine is not well matched to circulating viruses, it's possible that no benefit from flu vaccination may be observed." [10]

    Flu vaccines are dangerous
    As you probably know, almost 30 years ago, the US government passed a law, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which created a fund from patient taxes to compensate people who suffered injury or death by vaccines. This act granted immunity to pharmaceutical companies who make vaccines, using toxic ingredients such as aluminum, thimerosal, formaldehyde, and monosodium glutamate (MSG), in addition to including aborted human fetal tissue in their chemical cocktails.[11]

    Provisions of this law created a database, commonly known as VAERS, to report adverse events caused by vaccines, a database which only receives ten percent or less of reports of actual adverse events. Even the VAERS website itself acknowledges that underrerporting is one of its main weaknesses.

    Since its inception, over 330 deaths have been reportedly caused by the flu vaccine, and over 103,000 adverse events have been reported, numbers that could realistically be increased tenfold or a hundred times due to underreporting. [12]

    One study of flu vaccine statistics shows that thirty percent of flu vaccines result in unwanted side effects, with up to six percent including serious effects such as hospitalization, permanent disabilities, paralysis, brain damage, increased risk of contracting swine flu, allergic reactions, narcolepsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, and death. Children are at greatest risk for suffering these dangerous and life-threatening side effects. [13, 14]

    Flu vaccines also affect the unborn. Tragically, the rate of miscarriages among pregnant women who received flu vaccines during the 2009-2010 season increased 4,250 percent, a frightening statistic which was carefully hidden from the public by the CDC, until a CDC doctor was confronted and admitted that the CDC was aware of the spike in fetal deaths. [15]

    What some workers are doing to protect themselves
    State laws in Rhode Island require health care professionals to receive a mandatory flu vaccine during any period which is declared to be a "widespread" flu outbreak, or face citations of "unprofessional conduct" against their license and a $100 fine.

    However, health care workers fought back against these restrictive laws. Members of the SEIU, a union mentioned earlier in this article, banded together and filed a lawsuit, citing a lack of scientific evidence in support of the flu vaccine and compromised ability to communicate well with their patients while wearing a mask. [16]

    We recently reported an example of one brave employee who responded in writing to their employer's new, misguided and ill-informed policy to make all day care employees submit to mandatory vaccination or wear a mask and gloves throughout the entire flu season, a practice which even the CDC admits is ineffective at preventing the spread of the flu. This article, widely spread across the Internet, is an interesting and inspiring read. [17]

    Conclusion
    Millions of people are refusing vaccines, in record numbers, as they realize that vaccines are dangerous and ineffective. Now, unions and professional organizations are joining the ranks of anti-vaxers, at least with regard to mandatory vaccination. Those organizations value their members and know that they deserve choices about their bodies and their health care.

    In return, those groups will be rewarded with a collectively healthier, more innovative work force, because their employees will not be forced to receive injections laced with toxic chemicals. Their employees will also know their ideas and opinions are respected.

    Be aware: The forgotten history of vaccinations

    Dr. Mercola
    Mercola.com
    Sun, 18 Jan 2015 00:56 CET



    © amazon.com

    Vaccines are one of the most controversial medical therapies, and it's impossible to make an informed decision unless you know both sides of the story. In the process of knowing both sides, the historical context is critical.

    Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History,1 is a nephrologist who has committed the latter part of her medical career to exposing the "lost history" of vaccinations.

    Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC commented that this is one of the rare books that conducted in-depth research documenting the medical history related to mass vaccination programs and infectious diseases.

    I have read the book from cover to cover and would strongly recommend that you pick up a copy if you have even the remotest interest in this topic, especially if you believe in the safety and necessity of vaccines, as the comprehensive documentation will likely cause you to reevaluate your position.

    It is an absolutely fascinating read, and in some ways demonstrates that enforcement of vaccine programs could be far worse today, when compared to historical standards when people were imprisoned and even killed when they refused to comply.

    I will likely reread the book again so I can be well armed to articulately express my concerns on why one needs to have serious reservations on the validity of vaccines, based on historical precedents.

    Why This Book Was Written
    Dr. Humphries' interest in this area began in 2009, when several of her patients told her that they'd been perfectly healthy until they got one vaccine or another. Prior to this, she'd been, as she says, "agnostic" about vaccination.
    Quote "I had vaccinated my dialysis patients; I, myself, was vaccinated; and I pretty much believed what I was taught in medical school,"
    Then she started noticing that her patients were being ordered to get vaccinated on their first day of admission into the hospital - often when they had serious diseases: inflammatory diseases, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and one patient with cancer on chemotherapy.
    Quote "My patients were getting vaccinated on their first hospital day before I even saw them, and the order had my name on it," she says. "This alerted me that there was something going on that I had not approved of.

    I complained to the hospital administration about it. It was from resistance that I was met with that, ironically, led me into this path."
    Countering Vaccine Arguments Led to Startling Conclusions
    The conventional paradigm states that vaccines are safe and effective, and can be given to virtually anybody regardless of how sick they are.

    In order to address and counter the arguments she was given for this routine policy, she had to research vaccination, which led her to discover that there is absolutely nothing in the medical literature to support vaccinating an acutely ill person.
    Quote "At some point, they called in an expert to set me straight," she says. "The arguments that I got from the experts still were not lining up with science.

    My patients were acutely ill, they had inflammatory diseases, and I didn't want them vaccinated. I was told that I was confusing the nursing staff by discontinuing vaccines in my patients. That was how it all started."
    Arguments often used by vaccine advocates include the oft-parroted sound byte that 'diseases like smallpox and polio were eradicated by vaccination.' Hence vaccines rank among the greatest medical interventions known.

    As a result, she ended up researching smallpox and polio - even though it really had nothing to do with what was happening to her patients. Alas, this was when Dr. Humphries started coming to some really startling conclusions.
    Quote "In my research, I was startled [to realize] that what I found was completely counter to what I have been told and taught my entire life. I now don't believe that smallpox vaccines eradicated smallpox. I now don't believe that polio vaccines eradicated polio.

    The stories are very twisted, long, and complicated, and the vaccines have changed over time. It's really easy to kind of throw up smokescreens here and there and make whatever argument one might want to, because people are so ignorant and because the story is so complicated."
    The Story Behind the Smallpox Vaccine
    Every vaccine has a story behind it, Dr. Humphries says. The smallpox vaccine, for example, was actually developed long before the medical establishment knew anything about the human immune system. The revelations on smallpox alone are fascinating enough to purchase this book, and is far more detailed than the summary in this article.

    The vaccine was actually developed based on a rumor circulating among dairy maids. The rumor was that when a dairy maid had been infected with cowpox - which is a common infection on the udder of the cow - she would no longer be susceptible to smallpox.

    The rumor was a persistent one, as rumors can be, despite the fact that there were plenty of dairy maids who developed smallpox after having cowpox. But this rumor is what led Edward Jenner to develop the first smallpox vaccine.
    Quote "Basically, it was made by scraping pus off the belly of a cow," Dr. Humphries says. "Sometimes there was some goat genetic disease in there. There was horsepox mixed in there.

    There was sometimes human pox mixed in and some glycerin. They would shake it up; they would take kind of a prong, and puncture the skin several times...

    What I didn't realize was that there were many people who developed serious smallpox disease and died after they were vaccinated. The severity of disease was often worse in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.

    There are statistics that show that the death rate was higher in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated."
    When the smallpox vaccine was developed, there was also no way to accurately diagnose the type of pox disease a person had. It may have been chickenpox, monkeypox, or smallpox, but back then, any kind of pox disease was considered smallpox - even though the vaccine didn't actually have the human smallpox virus in it. Animal pox virus was always used. According to Dr. Humphries, it was the most contaminated vaccine that's ever been on the market.
    Quote "If you look at a town like Leicester in England, that town was noticing that they had one of the highest vaccination rates in the vaccinated world and their smallpox breakout was higher than ever," Dr. Humphries says. "The people in the town had a rally. The mayor and some of the health officials were there. They all agreed that they were going to stop vaccinating... The result was quite different from the predictions.

    The predictions were that there was going to be a bonfire of disease set upon the planet and that these people in Leicester were risking the health of the world by not making vaccination mandatory. But once they stopped smallpox vaccines they had the lowest rate of smallpox infection and deaths.

    What we show in our book - and we show the graphs of the disease rates and the death rates - was that both of them went down precipitously after the vaccinations were stopped. That story right there tells you that vaccines were not what made the disease go away; what made the disease go away was isolation and sanitation."





    Antibody Is the Wrong Way to Ascertain Immunity
    One of the major arguments against vaccine-induced immunity is that it primarily stimulates the humoral immune system and not the cellular immune system. Antibodies are produced by the humoral immune system and then routinely measured to determine "immunity." The problem with this approach is that you can have high antibody levels and still get the disease. It's very difficult and expensive to measure the cellular immune response, and immunologists admit that they are still in the dark about a lot of the finer points of the overall immune response.

    When you use antibody titers or blood levels to check for immunity, all you're doing is getting a picture of what happened (you had an immune response); it doesn't tell you whether you're going to be immune in the future, because antibodies are only one aspect of the immune response, and in some cases are not even necessary to easily combat the sickness and become immune.

    For example, those with agammaglobulinemia - a disease where you cannot make antibodies - can get infected with measles, recover uneventfully, and still respond to subsequent challenges of the virus in a normal healthy fashion and not get sick. These individuals will have lifelong immunity to measles, the same as someone without agammaglobulinemia.

    Traditionally, the way immunity is determined is to do a test that measures antibodies, which is the humoral immune system. But there's no good way to assess the cellular immune system. It's a really imprecise science at best. As Dr. Humphries notes:
    Quote "It's not only imprecise; sometimes it's downright inaccurate. You can have very high antibody levels, like numerous case reports of people who have hugely high antibody levels for tetanus, or normal antibodies, and have gotten some of the worst cases of tetanus. I have papers that show that people without antibody for polio have actually been able to respond to the virus as if they were already immune. The antibody really is a real wrong roadmap to look at to tell what's really going on. Sometimes there's correlation, but it's certainly not a given."
    The Story Behind the Polio Vaccine
    The other prime argument for the justification and support of today's highly aggressive vaccination program is the alleged success of the polio vaccine. But here again, the historical perspective fails to support the vaccination paradigm.
    Quote "The story behind polio is absolutely fascinating when you look at the politics that went on researching the vaccine, and how scientists were fired if they disagreed with the program going on through the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis (NFIP) in the late 1940s and early 1950s. That was the vaccine that Jonas Salk developed," Dr. Humphries says.
    Before the Salk vaccine became available, if you were admitted to the hospital any doctor could diagnose you with polio based on two physical examinations within 24 hours, to check for paralysis in one or more muscle groups. We now know that a number of viruses can cause paralysis, but back then, all instances were thought to be due to polio virus. When the polio vaccine was developed, a problem emerged. Swedish scientists were trying to tell the US scientists that formaldehyde inactivation was not going to work as planned.

    Their warning, however, fell on deaf ears. This was unfortunate, as they turned out to be correct. Live poliovirus, which was put in an injectable vaccine, would appear to be inactivated right after it was made, but sometimes it would "resurrect" in the vial... In essence, the formaldehyde did not kill off all the polioviruses in these vaccines, which led to live polio viruses being injected. As a result, more people developed paralysis from the vaccine in 1955 than would have developed it from a wild, normal natural poliovirus.

    Something had to be done to make it appear as though the vaccine was working. So what they did was change the diagnostic criteria for polio. Sadly this is a very common practice in medicine. When the observations don't fit your expectations, change or rig the system so that they do. With polio, the original criteria was two examinations within 24 hours. This was changed to two examinations within 60 days. This was helpful in cooking the books, because within 60 days, most people recover from their bout with poliomyelitis.
    Quote "All those people who were formerly called polio were no longer categorized as polio because they recovered from their paralysis within that time," Dr. Humphries explains.
    Then there was the issue of testing. Prior to the vaccine, there was no testing done on blood or stool samples. After the vaccine came along, there was an epidemic in Michigan around 1958. About 2,000 people were diagnosed with polio. In disbelief over the outbreak, serological testing was done, and they discovered that the polio virus was found in only a small minority - about one-quarter of those who displayed symptoms of infection. Interestingly, in the remainder they discovered a different virus or no virus at all! And, subsequently, those patients were no longer "counted" as having polio.
    Quote "So simply by doing the diagnostic testing and changing the diagnostic criteria, the rates of polio plummeted, whether or not there was ever a vaccine. These were the kind of things that were going on back then," Dr. Humphries says.
    Oral Polio Vaccine Propagates Transmission of Vaccine Virus
    It's important to realize that the injected polio vaccine does nothing to prevent transmission of the virus, and after an oral polio vaccine you become a reservoir of virus that can mutate or combine with other bowel viruses, creating new strains that are often more virulent to those around you. According to Dr. Humphries, the only thing the injectable vaccine theoretically does is give you some blood immunity, similar to tetanus. This means it is only going to be effective if your blood meets the virus before the virus meets your nervous system.

    Once vaccine makers realized just how difficult it was to inactivate the polio virus, and many people ended up contracting polio from the vaccine, they decided to abandon the injectable polio vaccine and create an oral vaccine instead, which is more similar to the natural route of infection. Again, controversy ensued. The oral vaccine did interrupt transmission of the wild type virus, but it propagated transmission of the vaccine virus instead.
    Quote "The fact of the matter is that you can attenuate a virus all you want, which means that you pass it through different animals to make it mutate enough that it's not quite as lethal or virulent at some point. But once you put that vaccine or that virus back into its natural host, it mutates back to the way it was," Dr. Humphries explains.

    "You can give a baby an oral polio vaccine and it can be attenuated. But even in the vial, before you give it to that baby, those viruses are starting to revert back to their former problematic state. And then once the baby swallows that, the baby will generate some immunity in the intestine. But what's going to come out of that baby is going to be mutated vaccine virus. Oftentimes this is problematic, especially in people who are immunosuppressed."
    In the 1990s the US quit using the oral vaccine, and switched back to the injectable vaccine. To address the hazards of injecting improperly or inadequately inactivated polio virus, certain adjustments to the formulation were made. Modern polio vaccines are propagated and inactivated differently from earlier versions, and different countries also use different strains of the polio virus. Older polio viruses used to contain three strains of the virus. Today, some countries will only use one or two.

    Polio Was 'Eradicated' NOT by the Vaccine But Through Redefinition
    As noted by Dr. Humphries, it's very easy to defeat the polio vaccine argument, as most incidences of polio disappeared because the disease was redefined - not because there was an actual change in disease prevalence. In fact, it could be argued that the vaccine did more harm than good, since some versions caused polio, and others propagated new mutated strains of the virus. According to Dr. Humphries, at one point, the only polio cases in the US were vaccine-induced. Yet even though there are no cases of wild polio being discovered, the polio vaccine remains part of the US vaccine program...
    Quote "Even today, you can just go on to the CDC website and the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). You can see that cases of polio in this country by and large occur when people get the oral vaccine in another country and then come here. When they say that polio is only a plane ride away, the truth is that disease from polio vaccine is also a plane ride away... Like I said, the injected vaccines do not interrupt propagation of the virus. If somebody comes to this country who has recently had an oral polio vaccine and he's shedding a highly virulent strain, people in this country can start passing it around."
    Polio Epidemic Historically Related to Increase in Sugar Consumption
    Here's another interesting tidbit that no one ever talks about: In the past, it has sometimes been suggested that a large part of the polio epidemic was related to increases in sugar consumption. Dr. Benjamin Sandler wrote an entire book about this, and Dr. Humphries refers to his work in her book as well. She explains the connection as follows:
    Quote "Polio's an enterovirus [i.e. a virus that enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract and thrives there]. The integrity and the flora population in your bowel is extremely important when it comes to dealing with any kind of bowel infection. A diet that's high in sugar is going to

    1) impair your cell-mediated immune system and

    2) trash your gut flora...

    [It was] shown that in populations who cut back on their sugar intake, the rates of polio plummeted... But it was so unbelievable that nobody really listened to him.


    It was the same as when Dr. Frederick Klenner tried to say that he cured 100 percent of patients with intravenous vitamin C and [it] just didn't register. The... low-sugar diet was very effective because of the effect it has on the immune system and on the bowel flora. The same with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT); DDT really trashes the bowel, the intestinal walls, and the flora.... Not only can DDT give you all the symptoms of polio all by itself, it can also make the poliovirus much more virulent and active in the body for the same reason: it disturbs the normal function of the bowel."
    DDT exposure has also been linked to Alzheimer's disease, and it's worth noting that the contemporary equivalent of DDT, glyphosate, according to Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, is far more toxic than DDT. It definitely has been shown to decimate your microbiome, and glyphosate preferentially kills bacteria known to be beneficial for human health.

    'You Cannot Dabble in the Topic of Vaccination'
    Dr. Humphries left a successful practice making $300,000 a year to be a poorly paid researcher. For her it was worth it, because her integrity wouldn't allow her to turn a blind eye to what she knew to be wrong.
    Quote "If you want to make these [vaccine] arguments, we have to have information and we have to have knowledge. We have to understand the history, the medical literature, the biology, the chemistry, the physiology, and the immunology. That is not easy. You cannot dabble in the topic of vaccination. If you do, you're likely going to be toppled by the pro-vaccine lobby because they're doing their homework.

    I felt it was more important to do my homework and make these arguments that I wanted to make... I do lectures if people invite me. I have toured through Scandinavia. Our book has been translated into two different languages [Spanish and German]... Right now I'm really immersed in the topic of infant immunity because there is so much information that has just come out in the past few years that, in my opinion, turns the vaccine paradigm for infants completely on its head.

    Instead of arguing about any particular vaccine, if you understand the way the infant immune system is designed, you can automatically see that if you were going to toss any kind of a vaccine in there, you might give them some short-term immunity, but you're also going to change their immune systems so that it can't function the way it was designed to function... The arguments against vaccines when you really understand the infant immune system I think are irrefutable."
    Science of Epigenetics Changes Everything Yet Again...
    Epigenetics is another field where biology is being turned on its head and all the old paradigms are being tossed out. Epigenetic science now tells us that our genes are NOT our destiny, and the problem is that once you start to epigenetically tinker with the infant immune system, you are basically depositing what Dr. Humphries refers to as "little cluster bombs" that will eventually "explode into a big problem." As an example, she cites a study by Nikolaj Orntoft, in which African girls were injected with a tetanus vaccine to see which genes might be upregulated or downregulated. What they found is that there's really no way to predict which genes will be affected.

    So not only will each individual have a unique response to any given vaccine, based on their current health status, we're also epigenetically predisposed to respond differently in terms of the side effects we might develop. This means that having a vaccine compensation table for reimbursement for vaccine damage is nonsensical as we're bound to have different genes upregulated after vaccines are given.
    Quote "We can have cancer genes upregulated, or autoimmune diseases upregulated. This has been shown in modern literature that used these highly sophisticated gene techniques to actually watch what happens after the vaccine is injected. I think this is really powerful information to show that, when vaccines started, they knew nothing about the immune system. Then scientists knew something about the immune system, but now we know about the genetics of the immune system and the epigenetics of the immune system, and that's got to be taken into account..."
    Most Doctors Are Completely Uninformed, Which Means You Cannot Make an Informed Choice
    Dr. Humphries stresses the importance of "thinking long and hard" about how much information you've been given before your child is given a vaccine.
    Quote "[Vaccines] can have tumorigenic kidney cells of a cocker spaniel in it. It can have human fetal cells with retroviruses. [It can have] aluminum, which is one of the most horrible things to inject into any sort of life form, especially into a muscle... Parents really need to know that their doctors are not informed and therefore they cannot give informed consent, and that they really need to think about it because you cannot unvaccinate.

    The fear of, "Oh, what if my child gets a disease" - that's where knowing the history is really important because what we're talking about is under which conditions people become susceptible . That's really more important than transmission. Because, yes, measles transmits very rapidly through the population, but it actually has a lot of benefits to the immune system - so much so that they're using it to treat cancer today."
    We really need to understand each disease - what the risk of it is, how it's transmitted, what the vaccine effectiveness is, and what the risks are. Dr. Humphries also notes that the human body is designed in such a perfect way that there is a system in place to handle just about anything that happens to it, provided we've treated our body properly.
    Quote "Babies who come into this world in a normal and natural way, who are breastfed for an appropriate amount of time, that's the best protection you could ever give to your baby's immune system or brain. Consider that when the fear starts to creep in. If you're breastfeeding your baby, you're already giving the most powerful thing on the planet that can be given to that baby," she says.
    More Information
    People have been scared into believing vaccines are the answer to prevent disease, but when you look at the historical evidence, the arguments used simply fall apart. There's just no question that improving your innate immune system - through reducing sugar and processed foods in your diet, improving your gut flora, leading a healthy lifestyle, and having adequate vitamin D levels, ideally through sensible sun exposure, - will provide a far more effective immune response and virtually eliminate any risk of developing a life threatening infection.

    The key is to have the courage to trust in this truth - that your body is designed to maintain health. Its natural course and direction is to be healthy not sick. If you have a healthy lifestyle, exposure to nearly all of these infectious agents will ultimately make you healthy and stronger. This is similar to exercise, which actually tears your body down to make it stronger. Nature actually knows what it's doing, whereas putting chemicals into your body based on human theories (or rumors!) that are oftentimes completely wrong, is unlikely to produce better results. As noted by Dr. Humphries:
    Quote "We have a highly profitable, lucrative religion that involves the government, industry, and academia. That religion is vaccination. People believe in vaccines. They'll tell you, they believe in vaccines. But you ask them what they know about vaccines and it will be almost nothing. In fact the people who argue the loudest usually know the least when it comes to trying to convince you to take the vaccine. That's been my experience.

    Medical schools are bereft of information on the history of vaccination, on the contents of them, and the potential problems. We have the go-to doctors, like Dr. Paul Offit, teaching doctors how to talk to vaccine-refusing parents. We have doctors like Dr. Robert Jacobson putting out PowerPoint presentations to give to doctors, literally telling them to persuade the parents rather than to inform them...

    Doctors are really being systematically brainwashed. Not only that, but if doctors do start to see problems... wake up to it; do their own research, and buck the system, they risk being treated the way I was. I was well respected through the entire state of Maine. People were referring their patients to me. My colleagues would come to me with their medical problems... But once I started to argue against the practice of vaccination, I was automatically tossed into the category of a quack..." To learn more, I couldn't more highly recommend Dr. Humphries excellent book, Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, available in paper back and Kindle on Amazon.
    You can also find more information on the book's website, dissolvingillusions.com. I have read it cover to cover and plan on doing so again as there are loads of powerful information that helps combat the blindly foolish acceptance of nearly all media and professionals on the value of vaccinations.

    Protect Your Right to Informed Consent and Defend Vaccine Exemptions
    With all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it's critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent protections in state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educating the leaders in your community.

    THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY.
    National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact. It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations, and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.

    Signing up for NVIC's free Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org gives you immediate, easy access to your own state legislators on your Smart Phone or computer so you can make your voice heard. You will be kept up-to-date on the latest state bills threatening your vaccine choice rights and get practical, useful information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community. Also, when national vaccine issues come up, you will have the up-to-date information and call to action items you need at your fingertips.

    So please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

    Share Your Story with the Media and People You Know
    If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury, or death, please talk about it. If we don't share information and experiences with one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in your local newspaper. Make a call in to a radio talk show that is only presenting one side of the vaccine story.

    I must be frank with you; you have to be brave because you might be strongly criticized for daring to talk about the "other side" of the vaccine story. Be prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination will the public conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about it.

    We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination. The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing more than "statistically acceptable collateral damage" of national one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for injury and death. We shouldn't be treating people like guinea pigs instead of human beings.

    Internet Resources Where You Can Learn More
    I encourage you to visit the website of the non-profit charity, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), at www.NVIC.org:
    • NVIC Memorial for Vaccine Victims: View descriptions and photos of children and adults, who have suffered vaccine reactions, injuries, and deaths. If you or your child experiences an adverse vaccine event, please consider posting and sharing your story here.
    • If You Vaccinate, Ask 8 Questions: Learn how to recognize vaccine reaction symptoms and prevent vaccine injuries.
    • Vaccine Freedom Wall: View or post descriptions of harassment and sanctions by doctors, employers, and school and health officials for making independent vaccine choices.
    Connect with Your Doctor or Find a New One That Will Listen and Care
    If your pediatrician or doctor refuses to provide medical care to you or your child unless you agree to get vaccines you don't want, I strongly encourage you to have the courage to find another doctor. Harassment, intimidation, and refusal of medical care is becoming the modus operandi of the medical establishment in an effort to stop the change in attitude of many parents about vaccinations after they become truly educated about health and vaccination.

    However, there is hope.

    At least 15 percent of young doctors recently polled admit that they're starting to adopt a more individualized approach to vaccinations in direct response to the vaccine safety concerns of parents. It is good news that there is a growing number of smart young doctors, who prefer to work as partners with parents in making personalized vaccine decisions for children, including delaying vaccinations or giving children fewer vaccines on the same day or continuing to provide medical care for those families, who decline use of one or more vaccines.

    So take the time to locate a doctor, who treats you with compassion and respect and is willing to work with you to do what is right for your child.

    Default Re: Do vaccines contribute to autism? Should we vaccinate?

    Blufire,
    Thanking you for this post, as the thanks button seems to be missing. You spoke my thoughts better than I would have.

    Well I guess I have a question.

    I went to the website link on wiki.answers. That statement was from some guy in Australia with absolutely no proof, research or any information on where he got this number.

    Just a dude throwing out a number? I guess I would say if we want to be a driving force in initiating change and helping our fellow human we should come from a place of definitive proof.

    I’m not supporting vaccinations in any way as I stated in my above post . . . . but neither will I support information that comes from some guy just throwing out a number.

    Did you actually go to that website link?

    Glaxo Smith Kline buried report linking vaccine to sudden deaths

    Jonathan Benson
    Natural News
    Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:12 CET




    An Italian court has unearthed a formerly classified document that proves vaccines cause death, and that vaccine companies don't want you to know this. As published on the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) website, a 1,271-page report by British drug firm GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) reveals that certain combination vaccines administered to children are known to cause sudden death, but the company chose to obscure and conceal this in official safety reports.

    The document deals specifically with the Infanrix Hexa vaccine (combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B, inactivated poliomyelitis and haemophilus influenza type B) made by GSK, as well as the Prevenar 13 vaccine by Pfizer and several other vaccines. It explains that, contrary to the skewed data presented by GSK suggesting that dozens of sudden death cases following vaccination were not linked to Infanrix Hexa, the same data broken down by time of occurrence reveals that the vaccine was, in fact, directly linked to the deaths.

    The devil is in the details, as they say, and in this case GSK masked these details by clumping together the majority of the deaths that occurred within 10 days following vaccination with the select few that occurred after 10 days. By doing this, the drug giant made it appear as though sudden deaths were spread out over a much longer period than they actually were, which it claimed served as evidence that the vaccine was not the cause of sudden death.

    Table 36 in the GlaxoSmithKline Biological Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance report to Regulatory Authority shows that nearly all of the 67 reported deaths following Infanrix Hexa administration occurred within the first 10 days. Only two of these reported deaths occurred after 10 days, and yet GSK reported them all together as transpiring sporadically across the entire 20-day period, insinuating that they were merely coincidental.

    Quote "[I]f one analyses the data looking at deaths in [the] first 10 days after administration of vaccine and compares it to the deaths in the next 10 days, it is clear that 97% of deaths (65 deaths) in the infants below 1 year, occur in the first 10 days and 3% (2 deaths) occur in the next 10 days," explains Child Health Safety.

    "Similarly in children older than 1 year, 87.5% [of] deaths (7 deaths) occurred in the first 10 days and 12.5% (1 death) occurred in the next 10 days."
    90% of deaths occurred within five days of vaccination

    An even closer look at the data tables, which GSK deliberately withheld from public view, reveals an even more shocking fact -- the vast majority of sudden deaths actually occurred within five days of Infanrix Hexa administration, which further implicates the vaccine. A shocking 90% of the deaths, 60 of them, occurred within five days of the shot being given. And 75% of the deaths occurred within three days of the shot.

    "The clustering of deaths around the time of vaccination demonstrates a link between the vaccination and the sudden deaths," adds Child Safety First. "It indicates this is not by chance as otherwise the deaths would be spread across the entire 20 days. Rather than showing the total deaths each day, GlaxoSmithKline disguised the clustering of deaths around vaccination."

    This is all quite revealing -- the stuff of lawsuits, no doubt, with which GSK is more than familiar. As you may recall, GSK is the same drug company that was fined $3 billion for promoting antidepressant drugs for off-label uses. The case has since been dubbed the largest health fraud settlement in U.S. history, which says a whole lot about the integrity of this company.

    Should GSK ever be found guilty of deliberately withholding critical safety data that, while it probably would have cut into the company's bottom line to make it public, may have saved children from early death, it could potentially make history again as earning the title of the most shamefully greedy and profiteering corporation in the world (next to Monsanto, of course).

    If drug and vaccine companies are really about helping people, why don't they develop treatments for disease rather than vaccines?

    One of the biggest problems with blanket vaccination programs that seek to inject all children against communicable diseases that may or may not ever even emerge is that the weakest children always end up suffering -- or dying. A better approach, at least from a humanitarian perspective, would be to develop effective treatments for these diseases so that children who contract them are the only ones being treated, rather than preemptively "treating" everyone, both healthy and sick, with vaccines.

    This would be the expected and proper approach if Western medicine really was all about preventing disease spread and promoting public health. But the sad truth is that public health is not the priority -- profits are the priority (and depending upon whom you talk to, so is eugenics). Vaccines are a complete guessing game, because nobody can ever really know how an individual will react to being injected.

    Quote "[N]o effective treatments for basic well-known longstanding childhood diseases have been developed," explains Child Health Safety. "That is a scandal in the scientific 21st Century. If there were effective treatments vaccines would not be needed."
    And it is precisely because vaccines would become obsolete that the drug and vaccine industries continue to play medicine rather than actually produce medicine. Vaccines, as we recently covered, are a major source of income for the drug industry, which now gets paid by the government (taxpayers) for so-called "emergency" vaccines, many of which it never even ends up manufacturing.

    "Educated parents can either get their children out of harm's way or continue living inside one of the largest most evil lies in history, that vaccines -- full of heavy metals, viral diseases, mycoplasma, fecal material, DNA fragments from other species, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 (a sterilizing agent) -- are a miracle of modern medicine," wrote Andrew Baker at NSNBC.me.

    Default Re: Do vaccines contribute to autism? Should we vaccinate?

    The US Government Has Paid out $3 Billion to Vaccine-Injured Americans Since 1989

    Lily Dane
    The Daily Sheeple
    February 4th, 2015


    Unless you live in a cave and have NO access to television or the internet, you’ve likely been exposed to the Measles Mania that has swept America.

    Facebook, Twitter, online news site comment sections…everywhere you look, people are launching into hysterical tirades and internet battles about vaccines, “evil anti-vaxxers”, and fear-mongering.

    Some people are so whipped up into a frenzy over those who don’t vaccinate that they are calling for those people to be sued or jailed. Even more disturbing? Some are saying they hope anti-vaxxers’ children die of a communicable disease.

    It’s like a modern-day witch hunt.

    The anger is strong, and it is infectious (pardon the pun).

    And mainstream news sites and politicians are fueling the fire.

    New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, both potential Republican presidential candidates, have stated publicly that parents should have a say in which vaccines their children receive.

    Hillary Clinton and President Obama are both saying that vaccines are safe, and that all children should be vaccinated, which is in stark contrast to comments each made in 2008:
    Quote At a 2008 rally, Mr. Obama said, “We’ve seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Some people are suspicious that it’s connected to the vaccines. This person included. [Points to person in audience.] The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it.”

    In 2008, Hillary Clinton was asked in a questionnaire from an autism group about whether vaccines should be investigated as a “possible cause” of autism. She answered: “I am committed to make investments to find the causes of autism, including possible environmental causes like vaccines.”
    Amidst the hype and hysteria over whether or not people should be forced to vaccinate their children, I have noticed two issues that are causing quite a bit of confusion.

    One is autism. Whenever a person says they do not vaccinate their children, a lot (and I mean, A LOT) of people assume that it is because that person is afraid of autism. This assumption inevitably launches that person into a lecture about how the link between autism and vaccines has been “debunked” or “disproven.”

    (Autism is far from being the only risk associated with vaccination. More on that later.)

    The other is the widespread lack of awareness of the “vaccine court.” People just don’t believe this entity exists. It’s as if I’m telling them that I have a flock of magical unicorns frolicking in my backyard. If I had a dollar for every time a person has accused me of being wrong – or lying – about the existence of the vaccine court, I might actually be able to buy a flock of unicorns.

    Anyway…yes, the government does have a vaccine court and fund that serve to compensate people who can show strong evidence that their child’s injury, disability, or death is linked to vaccinations.

    Here’s an explanation of the vaccine court from Generation Rescue:
    Quote The United States federal court has presided over landmark cases for the autism community, filing official court decisions that have linked vaccinations as an environmental trigger of autism. The court in which all of these decisions are rendered is the Office of Special Masters of the United States Courts of Federal Claims, otherwise known as “Vaccine Court.”

    The U.S. government created this specific court in 1986 to protect pharmaceutical companies from the direct lawsuits that were arising due to the preponderance of illnesses and injuries that were stemming from the company’s vaccination products. By establishing the Vaccine Court, the government now protects the pharmaceutical industry by trying the cases and awarding damages from a federal excise tax added to the cost of each dosage of a vaccine.

    In the “Vaccine Court,” the burden of proof lays squarely on the claimant. In other words, a family must show a clear causal connection between a vaccination and its adverse effects. For the autism community, this standard is made more challenging because the “Vaccine Court” does not accept “autism” as a legal determination. This is because autism is a clinical diagnosis, labeled on the basis of a collection of clinical features and created by causes that are still unknown. But the autism community has still persevered, and compelled the court to acknowledge the link between their children’s autism diagnoses and vaccinations’ environmental triggers.
    Here’s how that system works.

    The CDC and FDA co-sponsor a national vaccine safety surveillance program called Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). It serves to collect information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of vaccines licensed for use in the United States. People can report reactions that may be related to vaccinations there, and the data is open and available for anyone to access.

    If a case makes it to vaccine court and an award is granted to a family, the money comes from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program:
    Quote Since the first National Vaccine Injury Compensation (VICP) claims were filed in 1989, 3,887 compensation awards have been made. More than $3.0 billion in compensation awards has been paid to petitioners and more than $120.4 million has been paid to cover attorneys’ fees and other legal costs.

    To date, 9,860 claims have been dismissed. Of those, 4,912 claimants were paid more than $64.8 million to cover attorneys’ fees and other legal costs.
    For those who are still skeptical that such a thing exists…

    The following are cases in which the families of children who suffered from vaccine-related injuries (and in one case, unfortunately, death) were awarded compensation by the vaccine court.

    Click on each child’s name to view the actual court documents.

    Richelle Oxley: DPT shot reaction: post-pertussis vaccine encephalopathy
    Quote “…no evidence to overcome the strong probability that the DPT was the most likely cause. Richelle’s disabilities include autistic-like behavior, hyperactivity, and partially controlled seizures. The court finds further that all other statutory requirements have been met, and concludes that petitioners are entitled to compensation for injuries sustained as a result of the DPT vaccine administered on July 30, 1979.”
    Hannah Poling: MMR vaccine
    Quote “Court ruled in favor of compensation due to the significant aggravation of child’s pre-existing mitochondrial disorder based on an MMR vaccine Table presumptive injury of encephalopathy, which eventually manifested as chronic encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder and a complex partial seizure disorder as a sequelae.”
    Eric Lassiter: DPT vaccine
    Quote Eric was completely healthy prior to a DPT booster. His is a “known case of static encephalopathy after DPT immunization.” Based on the court’s own findings of fact and the reasons proffered by Dr. Lichtenfeld, the court concludes that Eric, more likely than not, sustained an encephalopathy and that the first manifestation of onset of the injury occurred within the Table time frame.
    *The possibility of autism was discussed in depth during Eric’s court proceedings, but a conclusion was never made. One doctor believed the child had autism…but not as a result of the DTP vaccine.

    Bailey Banks: MMR vaccine
    Quote “The Court found, supra, that Bailey’s ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey’s ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was not too remote, but was rather a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.”

    Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (“ADEM”) is “an acute or subacute encephalomyelitis or infiltration and 3 demyelination; it occurs most commonly following an acute viral infection, especially measles, but may occur without a recognizable antecedent….It is believed to be a manifestation of an autoimmune attack on the myelin of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include fever, headache, vomiting, and drowsiness progressing to lethargy and coma; tremor, seizures, and paralysis may also occur; mortality ranges from 5 to 20 per cent; many survivors have residual neurological deficits.”

    Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) is a ‘subthreshold’ condition in which some – but not all – features of autism or another explicitly identified Pervasive Developmental Disorder are identified. PDD-NOS; also referred to as “atypical personality development,” “atypical PDD,” or “atypical autism”, is included in DSM-IV to encompass cases where there is marked impairment of social interaction, communication, and/or stereotyped behavior patterns or interest, but when full features for autism or another explicitly defined PDD are not met.

    As a preliminary matter, even though Respondent conceded during briefing that Bailey suffers from PDD, Respondent’s expert, Dr. MacDonald characterized Bailey’s condition as autism; however, he at one point conflated the two as of one or of like kind. Tr. at 84-86. Despite his comments to that effect, the Court is inclined to view Bailey’s condition as accurately as the medical records will allow; that is, to find that Bailey more likely than not suffers from PDD, and not from autism.
    Elias Tembenis: Death after DTaP vaccination. This little boy had seizures after receiving a DTaP shot…but was still given boosters and other vaccines. In 2002, doctors noted that Elias had features of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (“PDD”), which is an autism spectrum disorder. He died in 2007, at age 7. The immediate cause of death was multisystem organ failure, which was a consequence of cardiac arrest…which was a consequence of Elias’s seizure disorder.
    Quote “Petitioners have satisfied the legal requirements for proving that Elias’s December 26, 2000 DTaP vaccination was a legal cause of his epilepsy and death. Respondent has not overcome Petitioners’ evidence by proving an alternative cause. Therefore, I find that Petitioners have established entitlement to compensation under the Vaccine Act.”
    Ryan Mojabi: MMR vaccine
    Quote Saeid and Parivash Mojabi of San Jose, California had their infant son vaccinated with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), among other vaccinations, between 2003 and 2005. Shortly after the MMR vaccinations, their son developed Autism Spectrum Disorder, asthma, and an encephalopathy, which refers to a syndrome of brain dysfunction. The case is ‘unpublished,’ meaning there is little information available to the public.

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conceded that the MMR vaccination caused the boy’s encephalopathy. There is no documentation stating the government recognized that the encephalopathy directly led to his autism. The Mojabi’s were awarded a lump sum of more than $980,0000, and another lump sum, several million dollars more, will be invested in annuities on his behalf to cover annual costs for the rest of his life. (source)
    From the same law firm that represented Ryan Mojabi:
    Quote A similar case involving a young girl reports an eerily similar timeline. The girl’s mother, Jillian Moller, filed her claim in 2003, alleging that her daughter was severely injured by the vaccines she received at 15 months old.

    Almost immediately, the girl developed high fevers, seizure episodes, and a similar measles-type rash. She started staring blankly, having shaking episodes, and was diagnosed with encephalopathy characterized by speech and developmental delay. She was also ultimately diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    More than seven years after filing her claim, the government agreed to settle, and made an offer upwards of $1.1 million. Another $9 million will be granted for annual expenses throughout her life. The Department of Health and Human Services did not officially admit that the vaccines caused her encephalopathy or autism.
    Notice that in several of those court cases, terms like “autistic-like,” “features of autism,” “PDD or atypical autism,” and “autistic disorders” are used.

    Here’s a recent case from outside of the US.

    Valentino Bocca: MMR vaccine (Italy)
    Quote Valentino was never the same child after the jab in his arm. He developed autism and, in a landmark judgment, a judge has ruled that his devastating disability was provoked by the inoculation against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).

    Judge Lucio Ardigo, awarding compensation to the family, agreed. He said it was ‘conclusively established’ that Valentino had suffered from an ‘autistic disorder associated with medium cognitive delay’ and his illness, as Dr Barboni stated, was linked to receiving the jab.
    Skeptics will say that none of these cases proves there is a link between vaccinations and autism.

    Maybe they don’t prove anything. Maybe the definition of “autism” is too broad and confusing (after all, the diagnostic criteria specified by the American Psychiatric Association has changed several times). There isn’t a blood test – or any medical test – that can be used to detect autism spectrum disorders. Diagnosis is challenging.

    But it is hard to discount the increasing number of heartbreaking tales of drastic changes (or death) in once-healthy children shortly after receiving vaccinations.

    Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), said that she believes the science behind vaccination risks is far from settled and that hundreds of parents have reported that their children have had severe deficits after an inoculation.

    Quote “We have a lot of observations that are not otherwise explainable,” said Dr. Orient, an internist. “I don’t think we can dismiss it out of hand.”
    The AAPS has called for an end to government-mandated vaccinations in the past:
    Quote “Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren’t necessary or that have very limited benefits,” said Dr. Orient.

    “This is not a vote against vaccines. This resolution only attempts to halt blanket vaccine mandates by government agencies and school districts that give no consideration for the rights of the parents or the individual medical condition of the child.”

    “It’s obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents refuse medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous,” said Dr. Orient. “AAPS believes that parents, with the advice of their doctors, should make decisions about their children’s medical care — not government bureaucrats.”
    You won’t hear about most of this via the mainstream media. Could that be because vaccine manufacturers like Merck give money to some news organizations? (One example: Merck sponsors CNN.)

    Perhaps parents are a more reliable source of information. After all, don’t parents know their children better than anyone else?

    Let’s look at some video footage of parents speaking about their experiences with vaccines.

    ****
    This video shows footage of expert and parent testimony during a vaccine hearing in MA:

    This is a video of a mom talking about her son’s vaccine reaction:

    More on vaccine court cases:

    Parents are sharing videos of their children’s stories of possible vaccine-related disabilities on the YouTube page Hear This Well: Breaking the Silence on Vaccine Violence. To date, 295 personal videos have been submitted to that channel.

    ****
    As I mentioned earlier, most of the controversy surrounding the possible health risks of vaccines centers around autism.

    But there are many other possible injuries and conditions that can be caused by vaccines. To see the complete Vaccine Injury Table from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, click here.

    Because there is so much discussion about MMR vaccines lately, let’s take a look at the vaccine manufacturer’s package insert adverse reactions.

    MMR II (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Virus VACCINE LIVE) from Merck:
    Quote ADVERSE REACTIONS: The following adverse reactions are listed in decreasing order of severity, without regard to causality, within each body system category and have been reported during clinical trials, with use of the marketed vaccine, or with use of monovalent or bivalent vaccine containing measles, mumps, or rubella:

    Body as a Whole Panniculitis; atypical measles; fever; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability. Cardiovascular System Vasculitis. Digestive System Pancreatitis; diarrhea; vomiting; parotitis; nausea. 7 Endocrine System Diabetes mellitus. Hemic and Lymphatic System Thrombocytopenia (see WARNINGS, Thrombocytopenia); purpura; regional lymphadenopathy; leukocytosis. Immune System Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported as well as related phenomena such as angioneurotic edema (including peripheral or facial edema) and bronchial spasm in individuals with or without an allergic history. Musculoskeletal System Arthritis; arthralgia; myalgia. Arthralgia and/or arthritis (usually transient and rarely chronic), and polyneuritis are features of infection with wild-type rubella and vary in frequency and severity with age and sex, being greatest in adult females and least in prepubertal children. This type of involvement as well as myalgia and paresthesia, have also been reported following administration of MERUVAX II. Chronic arthritis has been associated with wild-type rubella infection and has been related to persistent virus and/or viral antigen isolated from body tissues. Only rarely have vaccine recipients developed chronic joint symptoms. Following vaccination in children, reactions in joints are uncommon and generally of brief duration. In women, incidence rates for arthritis and arthralgia are generally higher than those seen in children (children: 0-3%; women: 12-26%),{17,56,57} and the reactions tend to be more marked and of longer duration. Symptoms may persist for a matter of months or on rare occasions for years. In adolescent girls, the reactions appear to be intermediate in incidence between those seen in children and in adult women. Even in women older than 35 years, these reactions are generally well tolerated and rarely interfere with normal activities. Nervous System Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) (see CONTRAINDICATIONS); subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE); Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM); transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis; polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia.

    Respiratory System Pneumonia; pneumonitis (see CONTRAINDICATIONS); sore throat; cough; rhinitis. Skin Stevens-Johnson syndrome; erythema multiforme; urticaria; rash; measles-like rash; pruritis. Local reactions including burning/stinging at injection site; wheal and flare; redness (erythema); swelling; induration; tenderness; vesiculation at injection site. Special Senses — Ear Nerve deafness; otitis media. Special Senses — Eye Retinitis; optic neuritis; papillitis; retrobulbar neuritis; conjunctivitis. Urogenital System Epididymitis; orchitis. Other Death from various, and in some cases unknown, causes has been reported rarely following vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines; however, a causal relationship has not been established in healthy individuals (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).
    Whoa.

    Most vaccine package insert “adverse reactions” sections look like that, so for the sake of saving space (and not overwhelming readers), I’ll stop here. Package inserts for other vaccines can be found here, for those who are up for some heavy reading.

    The CDC’s Vaccine Safety page has links to information on each vaccine and their associated risks.

    ****
    A compilation of 97 research papers that reportedly support the vaccine-autism link can be found here.

    ****
    And one more item from the AAPS site:
    Quote Selected vaccine authorities from CDC, FDA, and manufacturers discuss, in a closed meeting, the possibility of neurodevelopmental disorders resulting from vaccine components.

    The CDC published a study in late 2003, repudiating any possible link between thimerosal and developmental problems such as autism, but the CDC did have data supporting such a link which it secretly kept from the public.

    Documents released through the Freedom of Information Act detail the transcript of a meeting held in June of 2000 between members of the CDC, the FDA, and representatives from the vaccine industry.

    The conference followed a study that showed that mercury in vaccines may have caused neurodevelopmental problems.

    To read excerpts from the 260-page transcript, click here.
    Unfortunately, there are many more stories and cases like the ones I’ve covered here.

    Many will say that correlation does not equal causation. I’m not denying that, but when we have this many people speaking up about their personal stories, and government-run vaccine courts paying out billions to families, what are we supposed to think?

    Could all of these cases be coincidental?

    Where do we go from here?

    Default Re: Do vaccines contribute to autism? Should we vaccinate?

    Quote Do the consequences of not having the majority of our society vaccinated outweigh the consequences of a proportion of that population reacting poorly to vaccines (developing autism etc.). Not one of have mentioned the consequences of an unvaccinated population. That's an irresponsible stance in my opinion, and that is what goes through my head when trying to make a decision.
    Here's a graph that shows a picture of natural immunity emerging. You can see where things have progressed by the time the vaccines come in. Of course, the vaccine companies would have us believe that they are the ones who came close to eradicating the disease. This graph is deaths related to measles, not how many people contract the disease per year. It shows that over time the disease becomes less and less dangerous. Most people my age had the measles.
